How did you prepare for the interview?

read SDN, school website, reveiwed my research,

What impressed you positively?

good lunch, HUGE campus, underground tunnels connecting all building so you don't ahve to go outside in the winter

What impressed you negatively?

not an organized day... lots of downtime between events so you're just sitting there

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

two interviews- first with a faculty member, admissions committee member... those last about 45 min. then you attend a lecture, tour, eat lunch, do a lot of waiting in between, and have a 4th year student interview you... which is awkward depending on your interviewer... some are very friendly and others are way too shy and not very easy to talk to...

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
