How did you prepare for the interview?

I went over SDN questions with my aunt, a pharmacist.

What impressed you positively?

Before the interview, we all sat in a waiting room with P1s and P2s. They were very easy to talk to and really lowered the stress level. Someone came and got me to bring me to my interview. After the interview, we went on a somewhat boring tour of the buildings, however the students did give us some valuaable information at this time.

What impressed you negatively?

After my interview (I interviewed in the first time slot), I had to wait quite a while in the waiting room with for a few more interview rounds to happen before going on a tour with a bunch of students.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There was no tour of the campus. I worked really hard on finding super comfortable heels since I was expecting a boring tour of campus (I go to UT already...) however, there was just a short tour of the buildings. a lot of wasted shopping time :)

What are your general comments?

It was very low stress and, I would say, easy. There was no battering of questions, the interviewer was very nice and personable and it was more ilke aconversation. other than the fact that she and the student were taking notes!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
