How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

9 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read primary and secondary applications. Visited UCI website. Read SDN interview feedback.

What impressed you positively?

Went out of their way to make us comfortable and make the day stress-free (which it was). Nearly all of my co-interviewees were great (minus one or two folks who rubbed me the wrong way).

What impressed you negatively?

Just wish UCI were in a more urban locale.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

Chill out, it doesn't get more relaxed than this. If you've got some time between interviews, ask a current student to let you into the student lounge - you can play pingpong between interviews...

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

None. Did amazing job making us all feel welcome and comfortable for interview day.
