✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, mock interviews, and knowing my application

What impressed you positively?

The staff was really laid back and helped you feel as comfortable as possible.

What impressed you negatively?

I personally didn't love "cookie time." It was a great opportunity to meet all of the admission committee members. However, it was very awkward and you feel like you are interrupting everyone else to get a chance to talk to them.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Know an interesting fact about yourself (that you would want them to remember you by) that is NOT on your application :)

What are your general comments?

I really learned a lot from talking to the 2nd and 4th year students during lunch. They are more than willing to answer your questions, if you ask.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
