What was the most interesting question?

Lots of 'life' questions... my biggest goal in life, my top 3 priorities, an accomplishment I was most proud of, etc.

What was the most difficult question?

They asked me to tell them about a time when I had to take a difficult stand or make an unpopular decision... pretty typical, but still hard to come up with something specific.

✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked on SDN and some other places for sample questions, reviewed current events (though I wasn't asked anything about that), and I practiced a lot.

What impressed you positively?

Oh, I know a lot of people so it was great to have all the encouragement beforehand. The faculty is always really nice though.

What impressed you negatively?

I have had some nonresponsive interviewers at OK before - very stoic - and that made it a bit harder for me. This time was better for that. Just don't let it get to you!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I knew this, but I think other applicants should be aware: the interviewers can see your LORs, PS, exp. statement, and experiences. They can not see your GPA, GRE, or anything about classes you've taken.

What are your general comments?

They have four colors of laminated cards face down on the table and have you pick one. You turn it over and read the question from the other side and then answer it. You do this 4-6 times I think. Then the interviewers ask their own questions.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
