How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, the UIC website

What impressed you positively?

The facilities are the best, but they aren't too bad. The students there seem really nice and honest, and overall they appear to enjoy UIC. Very down-to-earth place, I never felt stressed the entire day. Plus who else thought Ann Shorrock was a cutie???

What impressed you negatively?

The interviews were closed file, but I wished that the interviewers had SOME sort of info on me before I went in so that I wouldn't have to repeat my bio.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The e-mail I received from admissions said that I would have 2 twenty minute interviews with 2 committee members each. However, both of mine were one-on-one interviews.

What are your general comments?

UIC is a cool place. Most of the students know that because it is a state-funded institution, it won't offer some of the perks and benefits of attending a private school. Otherwise, the small class size (65) seemed to be a more or less diverse group of people from predominantly Illinois. If you're an Illinois resident, this school is definitely not a bad choice.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
