✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Wing it.

What impressed you positively?

Chillest interview. They are so laid back and they understand that if you get into an UC, you will go to there (as should be). They are so real and genuine. Totally a new experience.

What impressed you negatively?

Temporary location and food choice during lunch.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That about 30k-50k in scholarship money was available. I would have tried harder instead of winging this interview.

What are your general comments?

Give this school a chance. Generous scholarship money and genuine faculty/admin. If you get into a UC, then go there (or USC/Stanford) but CA MD says a lot.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Better food choices for lunch.
