How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the posts on SDN. Talked to a friend who had already interviewed with them.

What impressed you positively?

Dr. Lippman, assistant dean of admissions, talked to the whole group before we had our individual interviews with the selected faculty. I was glad he was the one interviewing me one-on-one because I had already heard what he expected from the interview.

What impressed you negatively?

One of the D4s giving the tour was a little cocky. He made it seem like he had it all figured out from the beginning.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Where the admissions office was.
