How did you prepare for the interview?

Read current events, looked at interview feedback, looked over my application

What impressed you positively?

The interviewers were really nice (but their questions were hard haha)

What impressed you negatively?

I felt like the interview was meant to break me down, instead of get to know me. I really felt intimidated and not comfortable at all.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Well they told us that there would be a majority of people on the waitlist....that wasn't true once I heard how many were actually alternates

What are your general comments?

I thought I really liked this school until I interviewed at other schools. I don't think I could see myself attending here. I didn't feel like the students/faculty were a big family. I had a more competitive feel
