How did you prepare for the interview?

Left Chicago 2 hours before just in case of traffic (which wasn't bad) at 6 AM

What impressed you positively?

The facilities were new and beautiful, the library is impressive, I've never seen so many computers on this size a campus (wired for wireless too). Of course, the pool is a plus! Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful to the point where they wanted more questions but I was all out. It was even warm enough to walk around without a coat.

What impressed you negatively?

Breakfast could have been more than a granola bar. I'm reaching...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Students take tests every Monday and Friday at 7:30AM. Brutal.

What are your general comments?

I didn't get that ethical question everyone said would definitely come. Maybe because one interviewer was out... which made for a very cosy and laid back interview. I felt completely at ease and we were all laughing and telling stories so much we'd get side-tracked from the questions. But it's good because I ended up conveying what I wanted to. Since it's a closed-file they just want to get to know you and if you'd be a good fit for their school.
