10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I looked at this website, at the questions, and mentally prepared myself.

What impressed you positively?

They were very nice, and did not try to intimidate me at all. The one-on-one style really made it less stressful.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really impressed me negatively.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There's really nothing to stress out about. I stressed way too much and it's really better just to be yourself.

What are your general comments?

You either have a morning or afternoon interview. If you're there in the morning, you have 4 time slots, 3 of which have individual interviews and one of which you use to get fingerprinted and have a picture made. Then, you meet up with the whole (morning and afternoon) group for lunch. The morning group is done after lunch, and the afternoon group has their time slots after lunch.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
