How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, talked to the current students, Pitt website, tour booklet

What impressed you positively?

The students all seemed happy with their choice. The WISER facility with the simulation options was the largest I've seen. The faculty seemed genuinly interested in working with students and their ideas.

What impressed you negatively?

The classrooms are small and ugly. Paying close to 20$ for parking.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

others have said it but the tour is LONG. We walked/stood for 2 hours. It's really easy to change shoes if you bring them. You also have to pay alot for parking. The day was over for everyone by 4.

What are your general comments?

I had no idea I would like Pitt so much. The students here are even happy with their PBL classes and are so relaxed. Competition seemed at a minimum. It certainly moved up my list of schools I'd like to attend after my day there.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
