How did you prepare for the interview?

read SDN, reviewed personal statements and had a mock interview with the director of admissions at my undergraduate school. boosted my self-esteem by telling myself i was the best!

What impressed you positively?

The faculty seem very friendly and approachable and Wake has very nice facilities. The cost of living is pretty cheap and although there is not so much to do in Winstom, I like the absence of distractions. Wake encourages international rotations and volunteer work. My host was the best!!

What impressed you negatively?

Upon my arrival, I was told that enough acceptances had already been sent out to fill the class and I would therefore be placed on the waiting list. I still think I have a chance though!!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

same as above.

What are your general comments?

The 3 interviews were not as stressful as I had imagined and the tour guides were truthful and excited about their school. I really hope I get into Wake and I can't wait for three weeks to go by. Overall, the interview was very conversational and the financial aid session was very informative.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
