How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I relaxed the day before, went to the beach. I met up with 3 other interviewees at the hotel and went to dinner with them. They ended up being in my interview group.

What impressed you positively?

I like the idea of PBL. Learning in the form of a story helps keep ideas together, and makes them easier to recall later.

What impressed you negatively?

the group interview. Six people, sixty minutes. They were only giving me about 10 minutes of their time to let me sell myself. I flew across the country and I only got 10 minutes?

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Who all the members of my group would be so that we could talk before the interview and would not be so nervous when it came time to talk in the group situation.

What are your general comments?

The group interview idea would be good if it were in addition to something like MMI, or a one-on-one interview. As a stand alone solution, it is not a good way to judge the character of a person.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

DO NOT DO group interviews. It is difficult to make a competition for a spot into a collaborative effort. Once a person is accepted, they will be able to work with others. There were people in my interview group that were a negative impact on the group performance.
