How did you prepare for the interview?

Browsed UIC website (looked at all 4 campuses, memorized some recent stats/news about UIC, looked over my AMCAS/2ary, browsed SDN interview feedbacks

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was upbeat and interested in helping me gain admittance to UIC.

What impressed you negatively?

Same as when I had interviewed before for GPPA- the facilities are not as great as at my undergrad inst. However, this time around, I did see some improvements- new research center, new athletics complex, so really, not many negatives.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Whether they had a preferred protocol for students to send thank-you notes. I ended up emailing those whose emails I got and snailing the rest.

What are your general comments?

Easy, breezy, beautiful.
