How did you prepare for the interview?

This website and my application materials.

What impressed you positively?

The students from the first and second year classes were very receptive to our questions and invited all questions possible. It made the interview process less stressful and more comfortable for all.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Full acceptance after mid-December is granted by space availability, because many of the accepted students have paid their deposit to hold their space for Class of 2009. The previous statement made it quite hard to maintain a level of comfort prior to the interview.

What are your general comments?

The interview experience was definitely an experience! The rule of thumb "that all that can go wrong will go wrong" was the theme of my trip! There was a snowstorm (4-6 inches)with an accompanying ice storm. In addition, I left half of my suit at home, so I was self-conscious throughout the day and developed some intricate tactics to disguise the mishap, which made the incident quite comical immediately after the fact. But at the end, I received full acceptance to the school. The interview is what really counts after all. What many applicants fail to realize is that once an interview is granted, anxiety will only cause you to not fully comprehend the concept that the school has a considerable interest in who you are! Remember this fact: If you are good enough for an interview than you are good enough for admission. Plain and simple be yourself that is all you have!
