✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

9 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I didn't. I treated it like court testimony (which is a part of my job).

What impressed you positively?

The PBL structure was interesting. The amount of freedom the student has to learn is amazing/scary.

What impressed you negatively?

Again, the PBL structure. The session I sat in on highlighted the fact that it really is all on the student. I don't want someone to hold my hand, but I would like professors to teach.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had a better understanding of PBL. But you can't understand it until you've seen it.

What are your general comments?

Overall the day was fine. The PBL session really was fun. The interview, itself, was no problem. However, I did get a sterile feeling from the school. There was a coldness present in the students I interacted with.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
