How conversational it was

Friendliness, interesting questions, genuine interest.

Rehearsing out loud with family, preparing story bank, having AI quiz me.

I wish I would have known how casual and conversational the interview was going to be. Not many direct questions but I was presented with a few ethical scenarios based on how the conversation was going along. Had to make a point to tell my story within the conversation rather than be directly asked.

Mission, school culture

Mock interviews & school research

The interview was super conversational and casual. My interviewer was very nice & well-spoken. The school seems great and definitely hoping to get the A! Also my interview was virtual but SDN wouldn't let me select it.

How conversational it was. Questions stemmed from responses.

Interviewers and admissions team had good energy and genuinely wanted to get to know the applicants. They also gave us a timeframe of when they were gonna get back to us.

Honestly thinking of withdrawing due to the negative interview experience

Prepare to answer your questions in one sentence or shorter

Interview was really rushing me and cutting me off after 5-6 words each question. No time to clarify what the questions were.

very high tuition, student panel seemed incredibly un-enthusiastic

Faculty interviewers were very relaxed and friendly, rotational sites in FL which I wasn't aware of

SDN, mock interviews, Youtube, interview prep book

One of my interviewers went on personal negative rants

The administration presentation. The actual admissions presenter was extremely warm and kind.
