read over my secondary application and AMCAS application, read SDF, looked at cornell's website

What impressed you positively?

How friendly and happy the students were, the beautiful and modern facilities for 1st year students, how laid-back the interviewers were, the fact that both interviewers were heads of their departments, how Cornell is dedicated to diversity, internationalism, and supporting minority students

What impressed you negatively?

The other interviewees were stuck-up, not necessarily people that I would want to attend classes with

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

What a positive and relaxed experience the interview would be

What are your general comments?

Take the afternoon interviews. That way, you are fed lunch and given an hour-long tour of the campus before your interview. You are much more knowledgeable of the school at that point, and in a better position to be asking educated questions
