How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, friends already attending the school.

What impressed you positively?

Very laid back, but professional atmosphere. Very friendly. The interview with the professors was more a conversation then a "specific" question interview.

What impressed you negatively?

VERY LONG DAY. We started at 8:30 a.m. and didn't get done until 4:00 p.m. I spent 15 min going over transcripts, 45 min professor interview, and 1.5 hours in student/essay interview. The rest of the time your browsing the halls and talking to all your competition :) I wish they would say "be here at 8:30 to 11:30" then let us leave. Oh well, I got accepted.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

Long day, but great experience.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
