How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed personal statement.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was very nice! The facilities are beautiful and impressive but still comfortable.

What impressed you negatively?

Part of the interview was structured (the interviewers couldn't talk). This was a little intimidating but not too bad.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The group "activities" (tour, lunch, financial stuff) are over in the early afternoon. If your interview isn't until 3:30 or so, you have a lot of free time to hang out in the conference room, but it's actually kind of fun to get to know the other people interviewing.

What are your general comments?

I had a great interview day! It was a shorter day than at other school, which was nice.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
