How did you prepare for the interview?

I read a lot about the school and their specific programs

What impressed you positively?

Everything. Everyone I met was so laid back and the interview day is student run so it was very relaxed. Talking with my student interviewer felt like talking to my best friend. My faculty interviewer was really kind and put me at ease. One of the best things about it is that you are guided EVERYWHERE-- you never have to use a map to find anything because a student walks you everywhere. This is also great because you get the chance to meet a bunch of students. Everyone is super open to talking with you and gives you their email so you can contact them with any questions. By far my favorite school.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing, I couldn't have imagined a better interview day.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That it wouldn't be stressful!

What are your general comments?

The student interview is closed file, the faculty interview is open file. The interview day is long, but you're always occupied (in a good way).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
