How did you prepare for the interview?

"SDN.. None of the preparation truely prepared me for the questions I was asked and I wish I had not wasted so much time.. Interviews are to figure out how you think so my advice is know yourself very well and be able to explain anything about you or your beliefs (if that makes since).. Just do what you need to do to be confident about yourself and your decision because no two interviews are the same so you cant predict anything!" Report Response

"You start with lunch with some students. Enjoy this time that has no effect on there decision to relax and get comfortable. Then came a 30 minute interview. NO Break. Another 30 minute interview. NO break. A 15 minute social with the whole committee. (Talk to as many as you can, the time goes quickly!) Then the committee goes to vote on you and the part that decides your acceptance is done!
