✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Looking through example questions on SDN.

What impressed you positively?

The students were very laid back and easy to talk on the tours.

What impressed you negatively?

It felt a little disorganized -- especially the tours.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Who I would be interviewing with.

What are your general comments?

It was most definitely an extremely laid back interview, and absolutely nothing to stress over. Overall, pretty good feelings were received at the interview. I felt as though the atmosphere didn't really foster too much interaction between the students and interviewees (the ratio of students to interviewees was very lowwwwww). But I did like the setup of the information sessions.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Increase number of students giving tours, or decrease number of interviewees on tours... it was difficult to interact with students because we were on such a large tour. Also, larger panel of students to speak with during lunch.
