✅ 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?

Read-up on common behavioral-type interview questions and outlined certain general life experiences I've had that I could speak about AND that were important to me that I wanted them to know about me.

What impressed you positively?

The student panel was wonderful. All of the students seemed to be very well-balanced. It bodes well for the school's general atmosphere is its students seem academically challenged yet personally balanced, as well.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing. It was a very positive visit all around.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The heavy snow that started falling while I was there! Everything--travel, etc--went very smoothly, though.

What are your general comments?

The interviewers were both faculty members and were very professional and responsive. Not effusively responsive, but clearly they were listening to what I was saying and asking follow-up questions that made me feel like they were interested in what I was telling them and interested in getting to know me as a whole person, inasmuch as you can do that in an hour.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No responses
