How did you prepare for the interview?

Read and reread their website. Come up with questions to ask that I genuinely wanted answered.

What impressed you positively?

Their problem-based learning cirriculum. Learning more about this moved their rank on my list up a few schools.

What impressed you negatively?

My student interview was rushed, because he had the schedule wrong, so I had 15 minutes to eat food and answer all of his questions in a crowded cafeteria.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

They popped a little essay on us while we were waiting for our interviews. I believe it was along the lines of describing when its okay to break the rules, when have you broke the rules, and what were the reaction to you breaking the rules. They gave you one sheet and you had to write it on that sheet, one side only.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
