✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

7 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Compiled a list of positive attributes I wanted them to know that I have and worked from that list to think of stories from my life where I demonstrated those traits. Then I drew from that list during the interview according to what sort of anecdotes they asked for.

What impressed you positively?

The interviewers gave thorough answers to the questions I asked of them.

What impressed you negatively?

The Zoom format was somewhat unwieldy for moving from one panel to the next and comes with a lot of risks for technical difficulties. I also had trouble accessing a quiet space with reliable wi-fi to do my interview, which isn’t an issue when interviews are held on-campus. It’s more financially accessible, but I would have preferred to at least have the option to do the interview in-person.
