✅ 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?

Reading about the program, reading previous work of the professors, studying interview questions asked elsewhere, positive mental imaging.

What impressed you positively?

The opportunity to receive half-funding for the first year, when previously there was no funding.

What impressed you negatively?

The first interviewing professor was combative and made inappropriate comments about my job and place of work. Funding is tight. Students have to work a lot to afford the program. The neighborhood of the school offers little; I was warned about the dangers of riding the train at night or by myself. Students do not live in the neighborhood and most must drive to get to practica sites and to school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

School starts June 1st.

What are your general comments?

The interviews were too brief and I felt over-qualified for their program, but was put on their waitlist. Poor communication from the faculty, misrepresentation of the faculty about their research interests...

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
