How did you prepare for the interview?

Jotted down anecdotes. Reviewed previous questions on this thread.

What impressed you positively?

The tours were one-on-one and tailored to your interests- they showed me everything! Also, the administration was so friendly, generous and organized. Student ambassadors spent a great deal of time talking with me. It was a great day.

What impressed you negatively?

The info. sessions were not that informative, but everyone was so nice and friendly!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish that I had practiced putting together complete sentences ahead of time. Because it's closed file you struggle to include the necessary background information and to get to the point of the story in a timely manner.

What are your general comments?

It was a truly great day. They really know what they're doing at UM.
