How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, review essays

What impressed you positively?

one of my interviewers was very hard, but i liked the challenge. another interviewer was living out the medical career path I hope to have.

What impressed you negatively?

disorganized; the opening session was boring and unimpressive- i suspect largely b/c the dean was out of town; my student tourguide didn't seem to take school seriously. i simply felt bad for those interviewees for which was their only impression of the school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

i think uic can and should do a much better job of selling itself. i was impressed with several of the students i spoke with and one of my interviewers, but not terribly impressed with the overall experience.
