What impressed you positively?

"admissions staff is SO nice! they give you plenty of time to explore the school on your own and encourage you to sit in on a class, which i did. The tour was awesome, the facilities are excellent and very up-to-date, the students giving the tour were very enthusiastic. With my first interviewer (a student) we basically spent half an hour talking about the school with me asking him questions and then spent the next half hour talking about me...he was extremely nice. The second interviewer asked me a few questions and let me pitch my qualifications and then we talked about the curriculum...he seemed very proud of the school and very enthusiastic about what it has to offer. The closed file nature of the interview is great because you can steer the conversation whichever way you want with your application essays. The students are SO nice...one of them even asked me if I needed help when i looked a bit lost walking back from my interview and we chatted for like half an hour. " Report Response
