How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, school website

What impressed you positively?

people were very nice, associate dean was with the interviewees all morning

What impressed you negatively?

i didn't feel like i got a good sense of what campus life is really like (i felt like i saw just what they wanted us to see); wish there was a chance to meet more professors (only met the professor who interviewed me); no food, just water

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing, there were no real surprises

What are your general comments?

there were two 30 minutes interviews, one with a professor and one with a student. then there was a half hour set aside for us to mingle with students, the associate dean, and someone from admissions (this was a little awkward at first). there were only 15 of us interviewing and we split up into 5 groups for the campus tour (lots of opportunities to ask questions, but you start to run out after a while).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
