What impressed you positively?
I'm an undergrad at the University of Iowa, so I was really familiar with the whole thing. The "communities" are really cool though. They take 1/4 of each class and put them all together, so the M2s on up can mentor the students that are just starting. Each "community" has its own study space, etc.
What impressed you negatively?
Disorganized tours
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The interviewers REALLY don't have a clue who you are, so you should decide what you want to convey to the Admissions Committee and make sure you mention it to the interviewers. You wouldn't want to be TOO redundant, right??
