How did you prepare for the interview?

Didn't

What impressed you positively?

I enjoyed the interviews. They asked unique questions compared to my other interviews

What impressed you negatively?

Faculty and administration were definitely going through the motions. Didn't seemed thrilled to be there nor did they attempt to sell their school. It was more like we know you are dying to come here, so it's up to you to impress us.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There were 3 interviews. 2 faculty and 1 student.

What are your general comments?

My advice to the administration: Make the applicants feel desirable. At all my other interviews the school told the applicants why they were chosen for interviews and what they liked about each one of us. They discussed our files in the personal interviews and addressed our strong points. UNC simply said here are average statistics. If your in-state you have a 25% chance of getting in. Out of state a little higher now that you have been invited on an interview. Impress us and show us something special or you won't get in. Good luck
