What impressed you positively?

The tour was really nice. Before the interview, the dean came in and told us she doesn’t care about our application since we made it this far. She just want to see our personality because paper wise, we have made it this far so we pass the hard part already. She just want to know if we can hold a conversation.

What impressed you negatively?

I was in the library and a student yelled out “don’t come here, it suck”. We didn’t know if she was serious or not.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Don’t over prepare and memorize your interview. If you memorize it, they’ll know. Just have a overview of what your answer will be so you won’t be surprise at a question that caught you off guard.
