No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

i read all the questions on this site, read over personal statements, asks friends, coworkers and family about answers to them. Had a mock interview with a professor i knew.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was really nice. Some of the students offered to answer some questions.

What impressed you negatively?

nothing

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

About 40 people were interviewed in the group i was in. and about 5 different pairs of interviewers were interviewing. Whether you get a hard or easy professor is all on luck.

What are your general comments?

I was supposed to be there at noon, but i arrived at 9am. I was a nervous wreck for 3 hours. Then at noon there was a one hour orientation that calmed my nerves, then interviews started. I got the last time slot and again was a nervous wreck for 2 hours. During the interview some of the questions caught me off guard and required me to think on my feet. Because i didn't sound too sure on some answers, i feel that may have negatively affected me.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
