How relaxed the board was. They stood up and shook my hand and laughed when I made small jokes. I got the vibe that they just wanted to make sure I was able to handle their curriculum since it is 2+2 and heavier than other schools.

I felt like when I finally got comfortable, the interview was over.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The questions they ask are not suppose to trick you. They truly want to get to know who you are as a person. They only asked me questions that were related to my application and general questions about leadership, my school life and how I balanced a heavy course load with a full time job.
