How did you prepare for the interview?

Read this website, read the school's website - UNC gave me the names of the interviewers so I read up on them. I also talked to a friend who went to the school and rehearsed with friends.

What impressed you positively?

The campus, despite the construction, is really nice. They're also moving everything into a new shiny building for next year. Everybody involved with the interviewing process was also extremely friendly.

What impressed you negatively?

Not so much a negative, but the tour seemed kind of slapped together. You couldn't really see too much. It was more than made up for by the tour guides who were both very helpful and informative.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the shoes I was wearing would give me such huge blisters on my toes.

What are your general comments?

The whole process was very helpful. I was nervous since it was my first interview, but the interviews were done in a very casual fashion. The first interview was with the admissions committee member - she started off just going through my application, asking me questions, and we just chatted for a while. The second interview was with the faculty member and she asked me more questions like I was expecting to get, but nothing too difficult. Again we ended up chatting for a while on different topics. Both were very friendly and made you feel relaxed and not nervous.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
