What impressed you positively?

The Tenant Union associated with the school seemed very helpful. Urbana-Champaign is a pretty nice college town.

What impressed you negatively?

Too many people interviewing on the same day made everything impersonal. There weren't enough tours being held. Current students didn't seem positive or negative about the school, just neutral.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They asked everyone the same questions. The questions aren't that difficult if you read over the information they give you. They say the interview is about 30 minutes, but mine was less than 20.

What are your general comments?

Interviewers: One faculty member, one clinician, one 3rd or 4th year student. In my interview, the student did most of the talking and asked all the questions. I was asked the behavioral questions, then more personal ones. There's no conversation between you and the interviewers during the behavioral portion; they just let you talk and move to the next question when you finish. After the behavioral portion, the interviewers relaxed a little and made comments to some things I said.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
