How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

By going through the recommendation committee at my school, because the questions asked were very similar.

What impressed you positively?

How laid back and polite both the interviewers were. In addition, after the interview, while I was waiting for my tour guide, I had a really nice conversation with the 2 women working in the admissions office, which I thought was nice, because it showed that they took an interest in their applicants.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing. Overall, I was very impressed.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They didn't really make it clear where the interview was taking place. They mentioned the building, but not the specific room, so I was a little bit flustered walking in.
