✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

8 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

7 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, speaking to a family member that has been trained in administering behavioral-based interviews, practice with a friend

What impressed you positively?

The PBL practice session, the friendliness of the faculty and the tour guides, vegetarian lunch options provided

What impressed you negatively?

They were very disorganized (the first day of interviews). Also, the student Q&A session - it was 3-4 applicants on 2-3 students. It would have been better to have the entire group ~15 ppl do a Q&A with the students. But it would have also been good if the students used were more knowledgeable and communicative. The ones we had were unenthusiastic and uninformative.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I was not going to interview until the very end of the session.

What are your general comments?

I was accepted

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Be more responsive to emails during interview weeks. Waiting 2 months for a decision is too long.
