How did you prepare for the interview?
looked through my secondary (very important for this one, glad I did) and read this site
What impressed you positively?
the students, the new children's hospital, the new gym
What impressed you negatively?
there isn't much to do around hyde park and even though there is public transportation in chicago, the el doesn't stop near the school, so you need a car.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
how friendly the students were-- I expected it to be like U of C undergrad (I have friends who go there) which is very dog-eat-dog, and it was very laid back. Also, while I knew this, the third year is graded, so it's a bit more stressful according to students.
What are your general comments?
it was a great day. My faculty intervier was busy, so I interviewed with the asst. dean. She is wonderful and you should talk to her if you have a chance.
