No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, answering common questions, calming myself down, reviewing my file

What impressed you positively?

The students seemed to love it there. I loved the small calss size and the fact that everyone seemed to respect eachother as competent students. Everyone seemed to want to support each other, and I think this is partly due to their pass/fail philosophy.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I discovered that I really loved it there and that everyone would be so friendly. I got the opposite impression after reading some posts here.

What are your general comments?

I think it was alright. The interviewers were very stone-faced and won't give you any inkling as to whether they like your answers or not. The only advice I can give is to go in confident and have explanations for any weaknesses on your application. Don't second guess any of your answers. I have a feeling they were trying to get me to second guess myself at one point, but hold true.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
