How did you prepare for the interview?

Didn't have time. Nothing.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The true pass/fail system for the first two years, most students and the admission office staff.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

One of the student tour guides seemed fairly arrogant. For the most part the students were phenomenal, so I won't let that affect my opinion of the school. Also, the third and forth years are graded.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had been better prepared. One of my interviewers took me into this HOT room with a fan in the corner, it was facing the wall. He sat me directly across from him and bum rushed me with questions. It was a pretty intimidating environment for the interview. I felt like I was being interrogated in a Caribbean prison. I have to add that the other interview was very nice.
