✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

9 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed the website, reviewed my application, came up with points in my head to generic questions (why this school, tell us about yourself)

What impressed you positively?

Everyone at the school was super nice and friendly, they all wanted to get to know the interviewees. The interview itself was structured so that applicants could relax and be more like themselves. I liked the school's emphasis on social justice and serving the Chicago community. Interview food was also pretty good in comparison to other programs (deep dish pizza!)

What impressed you negatively?

Facilities weren't fantastic, but not falling apart either

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had prepared some of my answers better, but it was also my first interview so whatever

What are your general comments?

No responses

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Veeeeery long interview day- either shorten it or concentrate all interviews in the morning so that students can get them out of the way first
