Where did the interview take place?
At the school
How did you prepare for the interview?
Reviewed my file, talked to current students I know.
What impressed you positively?
The school is nicely laid out and the facilities are state of the art. I was also impressed that the head of admissions took the time to do an introduction and to do q + a. Students were very friendly.
What impressed you negatively?
They put the cost right out there and they don't try to sugar coat it. I suppose this is to their credit, but it is a major drawback. Also, I wished the interviewer had slowed down and taken a little more time with me.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That the interviews are scheduled for only 30 min but that most interviewers try to have them done in 10-15 min. My interviewer asked me a few questions, but then seemed to become a little disinterested and ready for the interview to be over. Be ready to sell yourself from the minute the interview starts and don't be afraid to just launch into topics that you want to get to, even if they aren't asked about.
What are your general comments?
Good experience. I enjoyed the school, students and faculty. I think its a little strange that they talk so much about getting to know you as a person (going beyond your paper application), but then you only have one 20 minute interview.
