How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, read JHMI site

What impressed you positively?

It's Johns Hopkins; they know their stuff

What impressed you negatively?

Let's see... the students talking about spending so much time at the bar, instead of studying, and that they have to be on antibiotics (not sure if that was a 'I am out all night and my body is worn down so I got sick' or 'I did something else'), JH is in a really ghetto part of Baltimore, but that didn't bother me too much; the policemen on every corner provided a great deal of security.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Strange interview set up: One faculty interview, 45 minutes, open file, one student interview, 15 minutes, closed file, but as you're waiting for your turn to interview, you're in a room with M4s, and you have to make conversation with them, and they are on the committee...

What are your general comments?

Like I said, very odd. My faculty interviewer talked for about 40 of the 45 minutes.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
