How did you prepare for the interview?

Compiled all the questions from here, and just read other questions on the web, practiced them out. If you practice the questions from here, you are more than likely ready for it!

What impressed you positively?

How nice everyone was, friendly and joking around. The Eye Institute and PCO's emphasis on clinical studies.

What impressed you negatively?

You need a car to survive here...and the location I guess.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing really.

What are your general comments?

I was very nervous! My first interview ever and because of that I did stumble a little bit! However I think in the end all went well. If you prepare and read over the questions from this forum I'm sure you will be fine! Everyone is very nice, and the interview itself was not too hectic. It was more of a conversation than ok question 1, 2, 3.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
