How did you prepare for the interview?

Read Stanford website, my AMCAS and secondary. Talked with current students.

What impressed you positively?

The students were VERY happy and laid-back. The curriculum is innovative and flexible, esp. the opportunities for research in any area you want. The financial aid is amazing.

What impressed you negatively?

The scheduling of the day seemed a bit confusing at first since some of the presentations got changed around.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I had a lot of down time and would have brought something to do, or more comfy shoes to make exploring the campus easier.

What are your general comments?

Stanford is amazing and is definitely at the top of my list now. It was a different feeling to the interview than at my previous interviews, but that was not a bad thing. Everyone was very friendly and I got all my questions answered. Now I can just hope for a phone call on Thurs. night.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
