For guys make sure you wear a suit, NOT just a shirt and tie, I thought about doing that but luckily I didnt. Ladies you also gotta look good too. Overall it was very laid back, One of our interviewers ws sick so we had a one-on-one session which was still very chill. Its closed file so make sure you can talk about yourelf. You go in and then they interview you then you take a tour and finally you have lunch. UIC was my first choice and I got in so just be confident and prepared.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Just looked over my credentials and the extracurricular activities I was involved in. Basically your selling yourself so you’ve got to know your product.
How laid back the whole process and all the people were. This was my first interview so I was pretty nervous.
What impressed you negatively?
The weird vegetable pizza they fed us for lunch
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Make sure to prepare some questions, I also wish I had known more about the curriculum although I got lucky because they’re changing it so no one knew what was going on.
