What are your general comments?
The school def. went up my list after the visit. I enjoyed everything except being wait-listed!! I got my first acceptance the day after being waitlisted so I am not too discouraged. I am hoping I come off the waitlist though because UB moved into my top 5!
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
The first interviewer basically asked me how I would fair against Ivy League Students. He questioned my GPA (3.96overall 3.92sci) because I go to a small, private and relatively obscure OOS university.
What was the most interesting question?
Describe a time when one of your beliefs changed.
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN
What was the most difficult question?
See question one. I had no idea how to respond to the person essentially questioning my education. If his goal was to trip me up he accomplished it!
What impressed you positively?
The students seemed to work together and they discouraged being "cut throat." The school was much better than I anticipated.
What impressed you negatively?
I probably took the first question the wrong way, but I was highly offended by it. However, they invited me for an interview as an OOS so my school must not have influenced them too much.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The questions! How painfully boring the tour was going to be. They let us know our decisions the next day.
