Read over the behavioral interview sample questions posted on the school's website

What impressed you positively?

The helpfulness of the school's administrative staff. The housing and financial aid reps that presented during the information session seemed extremely helpful and knowledgeable.

What impressed you negatively?

Not a big fan of college towns like Urbana-Champaign; facilities were somewhat old; 1st & 2nd years are mostly confined to the Basic Sciences Building.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The first hour or so of tours were jam-packed with people. After the initial wave of people, the tour groups were much smaller and it would have probably been easier to ask questions and get a more thorough tour.
