Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The students, including those that gave the tour and those that my group ran into in the building, were very friendly and helpful. The interviewer told me to relax and that it was just a casual conversation. The presentation on UC was impressive, and the financial aid representative was very knowledgable.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

There were a couple of questions that threw me off, and my interviewer seemed to keep asking me about funding healthcare reform, which I was not prepared for. The interviewer was also about 15 minutes late. Also, there is a lot of construction going on inside the building.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I didn't know which parking garage to park in. I also didn't know that I could have scheduled my interview before all of the presentations.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

I didn't thnk I did too well in the interview. The healthcare reform funding question threw me off, and the interviewer stuck on that subject. Nevertheless, he was friendly and attentive most of the time. The lunch was pretty early (10:30 AM), and the presentations were nice. Even though I didn't think I did too well, I got accepted about a week and a half later. The assistant dean was also very friendly and helpful, and told us that there was usually a 2-3 week turnaround time for a decision.
