✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

9 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewing my submitted application and the school webiste. Identifying common questions (strenghts/weaknessnes, community service) and preparing concise answers.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone is so NICE. They placed alot of emphasis on work/life balance. Pass-fail system. In a 200 person class, they explained ways they made the class seemed smaller and intimate. Also, they provided coffee throughout the presentation section.

What impressed you negatively?

Cost of attendance, naturally. Student-led tour involved lots of stairs even with available elevators, which as a girl in heels, I did not appreciate.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Even if you don't have to pee when the "break" comes, you should still go try to pee.

What are your general comments?

First half of the day = presentations about the curriculum, research opportunities, and financial aid. Second half of the day = two one-on-one interviews (mine lasted 20 and 35 minutes) and a student-led tour.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No responses
