How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read interview feedback on SDN, read over my essays, made a "story box" of interesting things that have happened in my EC, work, and general life experiences to prepare for situational questions

What impressed you positively?

Pretty much everything about the school. The interview day itself was very organized, admissions people were friendly and open, and my interviewers were kind and genuinely interested in learning more about me. The students were very friendly as well.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

To bring some snacks because you will be STARVING from the five hours at the interview day, the few snacks you're given, and from using all your brainpower on the essay and interview :-P.

What are your general comments?

I was very nervous about the interview but it went very well. I didn't really get any situational questions but the interview you have will depend on the interviewer's style--some people will get a ton of situational questions, some might get some typical questions, etc. Don't worry too much after the interview until you get your letter. I left the interview in a good mood but analyzed it for weeks afterward and eventually felt like I didn't do so well. But I ended up getting accepted :).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
