What was the most difficult question?

My interviewer had a rapid-fire style, where one question came after the other and there wasn't much time to compose myself in between. However, I stayed calm and was able to answer them well in the time given. Additionally, all of the questions were very specific to my application and my personal history (from my answer to the tell me about yourself question). That being said, there weren't any "difficult" questions exactly, but the style of the interview was more difficult.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

That my interviewer was very concerned with making sure I was a good fit for the school, and that the school was a good fit for me. At the end of the interview he expressed that I had done a good job, but that I should choose a school that I felt most comfortable with.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

That students are required to attend all lectures (have to slide ID card). Some of the student reps said this isn't exactly true, but that professors notice when students are missing. There is a dress code of either scrubs or business casual, which may be a problem in the dead heat of summer.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That there would be a lot of walking during the interview day, and then during the optional tour at the end. Girls, wear comfortable shoes!

What are your general comments?

No responses

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

It is very hard to get in touch with anyone from the admissions office once students are accepted. Additionally, it takes approx. 15 mins for anyone to even answer the school-wide phone number after being put on hold.
