How did you prepare for the interview?

Practice for FAQ, asking friends for essay question, snoop around.

What impressed you positively?

They didn't make me feel intimidated, they were professional, friendly, and helpful. The Dean was also speaking, and she seemed to promote the school (try to sell the school to us, not make us feel like we are begging to get in there). Oh..and they provided us with a list of all faculty with their research interest!--> Hint: find out to make a conversation/ questions to your interviewer. They also allowed us to make changes to campus preference, in which I decided to change mine to TC only.

What impressed you negatively?

None

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

None, I go to this university, nothing new.

What are your general comments?

The interview started in the morning with a welcome coffee and juice. Then we were gathered in a small auditorium to listen for the Dean's welcome, etc. The group was split into two: writing excercise and tour. But the interviews all started at 11 am. Everyone was assigned a different interviewer.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
