✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Relax, slept good, and wore my best-looking ensemble because if you look good (even if it is your personal opinion) you will generally feel good. That and I looked foward to getting drunk after the interview (just kidding).

What impressed you positively?

The facilities are top-notch.

What impressed you negatively?

I spilled pizza sauce on my crisp white shirt during lunch time, that was my own fault but darn it, that incident still negatively impressed me. Here is a tip: take your jacket off during lunch so if something like that happen you can use your jacket to hide it. Also, don't eat something messy like pizza for lunch.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Pizza stain (see negative impressions).

What are your general comments?

The interview was generally smooth. The first interviewer was more curious in my personality whereas the second interviewer asked me more academic questions. I did not get the impression that any of the interviewers were out to get me. However, I do suggest that that you are honest. If an interviewer asked you a question you don't know, tell them the truth, you will surely impress them with your humility and integrity.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
