I was asked this too

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, read over my essays & personal statement, looked at the UMASS website

What impressed you positively?

My first interview was very enthusiastic and had a good grasp of my folder and seemed interested in learning more about me. The cost is also very reasonable.

What impressed you negatively?

My second interviewer repeatedly yawned during the interview, and did not have an opportunity to read my file prior to meeting with me -- I felt like I reiterated much of what is in my file.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There are morning interviews and afternoon -- if you have an afternoon, they ship you off-campus(in a stretch limousine, that's right!) to other area buildings affiliated with the school -- it was a long day.
