What are your general comments?
A very good all around experience. My interviewers were very attentive and provided me with many good follow-up questions. Being undecided driving into London, I knew when leaving that I would be happy there.
💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
I signed a confidentiality agreement, but the most interesting question was a follow-up revolving around my research.
How did you prepare for the interview?
Went to school for the last six years, researched UWO on the internet, talked with some friends
What was the most difficult question?
A question dealing with the allocation of VERY finite resources.
What impressed you positively?
The campus is much nicer than I expected, as is the city.
What impressed you negatively?
There was no recycling program in place at the lunch which was provided. Also, the student's seemed a little young. Not in a bad way, but they tended to emphasize how Western was the--and I'm quoting here--"Bestern." Following this philosophy, instead of emphasizing their academic side, they focused a lot on the party life in London. This is something I'd like to know, but our tour guids got so excited while describing city-life that I thought they might flash me (okay... so maybe I wasn't negatively impressed persae).
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I wished that I had really understood the very interesting implications of "Ecosystem Health": a component of the curriculum that is certainly unique to UWO. Read-up on that for sure.
