✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

9 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

9 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed lists of common questions and practiced answering them.

What impressed you positively?

Friendliness and laid back nature of the staff. Also the global health internship and other student resources were interesting to learn more about.

What impressed you negatively?

My interviewer wasn't very personable.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I wouldn't have focused so much on the common questions, because I wasn't asked a single one of them. Just don't go in thinking you know the format just because it's what most other people have experienced.

What are your general comments?

Everyone else I spoke to at my interview had a very different experience than I did. Their interviewers were very relaxed and conversational - mine just went down a list of very challenging questions and did not respond to my answers (unless I asked them very specific questions back). It was a much more stressful interview than I had expected based off other's experiences here on sdn.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
