What are your general comments?
In the morning the dean comes in and asks you to introduce yourself. They put a lot of emphasis on extracurriculars (in some ways it felt like attending a private preparatory high school). Then you have two open file interviews with faculty (sometimes students interview) half an hour each. Then you've got tours and such from 11 until 2 or 3pm.
💬 Interview Process

Why would you move from XXX to NYC?
How did you prepare for the interview?
not much, it was like the 6th one i've had.
What impressed you positively?
Location, location, location. What a difference compared to Eintstein! It seemed like a really nice place to go to school. Dorms were nice, although I don't think that I'm interested in living in a dorm.
What impressed you negatively?
I didn't really feel that I connected with either of the faculty members, or that I could approach them to discuss concerns that I might have.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That the tourguides & your host have input into the admissions decision!
