How did you prepare for the interview?

Read up on current events, reviewed my application essays, wrote out answers to commonly asked questions.

What impressed you positively?

The interview didn't feel awkward and forced, we actually joked around a bit. My interviewers weren't stuffy, but I definitely saw some that were.

What impressed you negatively?

The lunch provided was not great, but then I was so nervous I couldn't eat much anyway.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

My fly was down.

What are your general comments?

Plan out some answers to commonly asked questions, don't rehearse them, just know what you want to say. Be ready for them to test you, as in challenging your answers, testing how far they can keep probing in a topic, and playing devil's advocate. They seemed to want to test my maturity and my ability to handle stress.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
