What was the most interesting question?

The questions were all designed to be open ended to spur on further conversation. Consequently, all of the questions led to interesting tangential topics of discussion which were very interesting. The conversation was very enjoyable and very low stress.

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read over this site and prepared answers to all of the questions that people had been asked previously. Also, tried to talk to lots of people about topics that I thought would come up during the interview, so that I would be used to chatting about these topics and expressing my point of view articulately.

What impressed you positively?

Extremely friendly and warm interviewers and the school in general had a vibe of community which I loved. Was the opposite of the cut-throat, gunner vibe that is supposedly found at very competitive schools. The day was designed to be as low stress as possible and you didn't feel under the microscope at all. You were simply given the opportunity to demonstrate what kind of person you were and why you would be a valuable addition to the school.

Nothing really. Overall it was a fantastic experience.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I was pretty well prepared because I had read over these survey answers in detail beforehand, so nothing really took me by surprise. Make sure that you are prepped for the ethics essay - the prompt I got was pretty much exactly the same as one of the ones that I had seen on here previously.
