How did you prepare for the interview?

Read reviews on this website, read through my application, and read a Scientific American magazine.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone at the University of Minnesota is glowingly happy to be there. They are laid-back, welcoming, unintimidating, and excited about what they do. The staff is flexible with all the students' needs--many students there have a children or are pregnant and the school provides every means to help them balance their school and family lives.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing. It just confirmed that Minnesota is a great place to learn.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interview was SO casual that I was a bit angry at myself for getting so nervous. I would have been better in the interview if I would have just calmed down beforehand.

What are your general comments?

The interview was laid-back and conversational. No surprise questions. The interviewer only had my personal essay and secondary application essays to go off of, so we mostly stuck to discussing things I had mentioned in them.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
