How did you prepare for the interview?

No responses

What impressed you positively?

Location, technologically advanced

What impressed you negatively?

The dean of admissions is very paranoid about COVID. She makes you sit 15ft across the table, in a mask, and it is extremely hard to talk loud while breathing in a mask. The conditions she puts you in set you up for failure. Was by far the worst interview experience. The interview was not conversational at all, she just asks you questions and doesn't genuinely try to get to know you. It's her first year as dean of admissions, so seems like she's changing up their reputation for being an easy interview.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I would be 15ft away from the interviewer, screaming across the room so she can hear me, in a mask

What are your general comments?

The dean cares more about COVID than getting to know the applicants. I'm not sure why they are holding in-person interviews if it's going to be in such extreme conditions. They don't take into consideration the applicants at all.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Not hold in-person interviews if the dean is going to be completely paranoid the whole time rather than getting to know the applicants.
