✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

9 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, internet searches, having an idea of what I would say to common questions, knowing what I put on my application

What impressed you positively?

The dinner beforehand, the facilities the school has

What impressed you negatively?

It was stressed how much the interview would be a "conversation" but my interviewers were not particularly friendly and kind of awkward themselves. They were not super responsive when I would attempt to make a conversation.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I would have known it was a closed interview. And then once I did know (shortly before my interview) I thought my interviewers would ask more about my application but they really didn't, which made me feel like I should have talked about myself more.

What are your general comments?

Be prepared to have to force a conversation if you get people who are not particularly talkative/friendly.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
