Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The facilities are new and high tech. I stayed with a student host, who was so nice! When I told my host that I missed part of the tour for my interview, she took me around herself.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

They scheduled an interview such that you had to miss part of the tour. The public transportation was unreliable and caused me to be late to my faculty interview.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That there would be a lot of deadtime during the interview day...there was about 2 hrs where I sat in the conference room just to wait around for an info session at the end of the day.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

My faculty interviewer was nice, but he grilled me on some info in his specialty ...I wasn't expecting that. On the whole, the interview was very rushed because the shuttle was 20 min late to pick me up. The student interview was very laid-back and easy, but it was slightly awkward to do because it was over lunch (eating and interviewing don't go too well together).
