How did you prepare for the interview?

Read my application, went on their website

What impressed you positively?

Curriculum including Scholarship and Discovery Program, P2S2, the people are great

What impressed you negatively?

Interview day was not that well organized (last minute interview location switches), lots of down time between interviews

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Although generally relaxed, the interviews also depend a lot on who you get. I got somewhat unlucky.

What are your general comments?

Great school, I would love to go here. Small class size and great, sociable, balanced people make it highly appealing. Its close to the city, but not in the city, which I think is a plus

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Don't switch interview locations 5 minutes before the interview via text! I was 15 minutes late to my interview due to this!
