They were all pretty straightforward, but they did ask a lot of questions about me personally (hobbies, what I do in my free time, my study abroad trip, my job) which was nice! They really want to get to know you as a person.
I didn't really prepare other than reading some interview feedback here on SDN and reviewing my own application and what I said in my supplemental essays.
What impressed you positively?
EVERYTHING. Everyone is so genuinely friendly - students, interviewers, other faculty and staff - all so welcoming and just really wanting to get to know you as a person. I loved that each interviewer really knew my application and brought up specific things from my essays, it felt like they really cared about getting to know their applicants. Also, the school is BEAUTIFUL (practically brand new) with amazing technology (all Apple everything). They also do a great job at making you feel comfortable and welcomed and it is a really low stress environment. The whole day was really well done.
What impressed you negatively?
Nothing!
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That the interviews were so short! Two 20 minute interviews and a 10 minute interview - they all go by so quickly!
What are your general comments?
Absolutely great experience. Low stress, very friendly environment, beautiful facilities, and really well organized. Good luck to future interviewees! :)
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
nothing! they're friendly, professional, welcoming, and very responsive!
