✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

I didn't have time to do anything but show up and be as honest as I could, for my grandmother was in her last few hours of life.

What impressed you positively?

All of the interviewers genuinely seemed to be interested in learning more about me, not trying to stump me with off the wall questions.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing: it went very very well.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I think that my interview went so much better than anyone had prepared me for. Everyone had me thinking that I was going to be running a gauntlet and it really wasn't that bad at all - no different really than a job interview that for a position you really want.

What are your general comments?

Wonderful. I walked out thinking that I had done really well, and I must have because I was picked up on my first try and I was not a Tier-1 applicant.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No responses
