How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the website, Primary, Secondary, Feedback Questions

What impressed you positively?

All of the students and administrators were very sweet (I interviewed at Urbana)

What impressed you negatively?

They didn't really know much about the curriculum changes from what I could tell. They also didn't really talk much about any student organizations or give a tour of the facilities. Wish we could have learned more about the curriculum or other resources that the school has to offer.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The day was very chill. Lunch was pretty decent. Everybody was really nice there (I did Urbana campus).

What are your general comments?

I really wish they could make the dates more flexible so that people can interview at the sites that they would like to attend. As OOS I ended up having to fly into Chicago and then drive to Urbana because that's the only day that was left. The panel interview was interesting. It went by pretty fast.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Change the system for signing up for an interview date... it's very inconvenient to have to check online for dates that are open and then call in the office to schedule. The website in general is very awkward and hard to figure out. Also, the Chicago spots fill up quickly and they won't give more dates until the other campus interviews fill up. Makes it kind of awkward for OOS who need to interview in Chicago.
