How did you prepare for the interview?

UCI website, SDN, mock interviews, read over applications, got a good night's rest.

What impressed you positively?

Gayle (who is amazing), Associate Dean Ellena Peterson (who is equally amazing), the friendliness of the students, the way UCI goes out of its way to make sure you feel great, the low average student debt, the tremencous housing opportunities, the beauty of the school, and everything I may have left out.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing a all!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing was a suprise. I went in knowing how great UCI was and just had all of my hopes confirmed!

What are your general comments?

My interview experience was definitely unique. The day started with a tour of the campus at 8:00a.m. in which a 4th year student took us around thje facitities. We had financial aid, housing, and various program talks after the tour. Associat Dean Ellena Peterson then came in and we went around introducing ourselves and telling her one interesting thing about us. She outlined the process for the evaluation of our applications so there were no mysteries when we got home. Next came lunch (which was great!!), followed by the student interview and then a faculty interview. The day was well-planned so that we would feel absolutely at home.
