What are your general comments?

Applicants generally found the interview process to be thorough and exhaustive, with numerous interviews spanning two days. They appreciated the opportunity to meet various faculty members and current students, gaining valuable insights and feeling well-prepared through interactions with their potential advisors.

I arrived the night before the interviews. A current student picked me up and I stayed at her house. She was very helpful and gave me a number of invaluable tips for the people I would meet. Interviews ran all day for two days, totaling 15 interviews in all. I met with my POI first and last and really felt as though I got all of my questions answered. Meeting so many people was exhausting, but it really helped to provide a more complete picture of the entire program.
