How did you prepare for the interview?

Scrutinized the school's website and curriculum. Reviewed application and essays. Perused this site.

What impressed you positively?

Several current students and faculty randomly stopped by to chat with our group of candidates. I really enjoyed talking with them and it made me feel welcome. There was also a cart of refreshments provided in the conference room that I thought was very considerate. The campus has lots of well equipped small study rooms, perfect for long study sessions.

What impressed you negatively?

The 4th year student that acted as our tour guide was very cynical, pessimistic and rather discouraging. The campus is very large and very windy which made me wonder how much time is spent walking between buildings especially in bad weather. I wanted to see one of the labs. The tour guide showed us every lecture hall on campus, but we didn't get to see one lab.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Some of the girls wore high heels. They were given the option to change into more comfortable shoes for the campus tour, but most of them did not have a second pair of shoes with them.

What are your general comments?

Everyone was friendly and accommodating. It was a fairly long day with the tour, information session, actual interview and group activity. The campus is really nice and has interesting art pieces. The admin staff provided a place for candidates to put suitcases and other items during the tour. The group exercise was the last part of the day and it was fun.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
