How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I didn't prep for the interview as much as I should have. I was afraid my answers would sound too rehearsed, but it would have been good to go through some of the general questions and have a general idea of how to answer. In previous years, I've had verbal discussions with friends who applied about these questions so I had an idea of how I would answer some of the questions.

What impressed you positively?

How personable some of my interviewers were. They definitely eased the tension by making you feel comfortable. They weren't there to attack me but brought out my strengths and helped me reinforce it during the interview.

What impressed you negatively?

One of my interviewers kept looking at the clock while interviewing me which made me even more nervous.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

N/A

What are your general comments?

Overall great experience. The fact that one of my interviewers kept looking at the clock during the 2nd interview was a little unsettling for me. I kept dwelling for weeks! Although, my first interview went really well and my last question to him was "Do you think there are weaknesses in my application that I should address in the case that I don't get accepted this time around?" He gave me some good advice for the second part of the interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
