How did you prepare for the interview?

I read a lot about the school from the web site, journal articles. Talked to students before the interview. Revisited my application file. Avoided mock interviews, I say just go with it, be yourself. Don't prepare canned answers.

What are your general comments?

The Dean's talk is good and informative. You get scheduled for an interview at either 9:15, 10:15 or 11:15. There's no choice there. Students come and go, inviting you to visit classrooms, etc. There seemed to be an overall feeling of having had a good interview, although some weren't so sure about it. You'll get to see a lot of the school, chat with a lot of students. There is coffee provided all day long, don't over do it, I did!
