How did you prepare for the interview?

I didn't prepare for the interview at all.

What impressed you positively?

Beautiful weather

What impressed you negatively?

The whole PBL program (no lectures, no text books, lots of unhappy students). Observing the 1st year students' PBL session was extremely boring. Very hostile staffs and admissions officers. Outrageous tuition at $75000 ~ $80000 a year

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

PBL is only for the loudest

What are your general comments?

Absolutely no logic or common sense needed during the interview. The interviewer only wants to find out if you have a loud voice. Be prepare to say ANYTHING as loud and fast as you can. The PBL is only for research minded, talkative people. Don't even bother to apply if you aren't able to talk non-stop for 90 minutes.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
