✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

9 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

7 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Research the school.

What impressed you positively?

Friendliness of the staff, facilities.

What impressed you negatively?

End-of-the-day talk about why Wisconsin is a "Top-10" school. The dean made an awkward compilation of different rankings that put Wisconsin in the top-10, which was obviously contrived. We don't need an arbitrary ranking to know that UW is a good school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

If the 2 student interviewer/3 interviewee session is weighted equally as the faculty interview, then the interviewers should spend less time talking about the school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

For those traveling, maybe explain options for lodging in the invitation email.
