How did you prepare for the interview?

3 mock interviews, practice with my boyfriend, read the school website, read this website, really took an honest look at my life and who I was *sounds cheezy I know, but it helped a lot*

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

How concerned they were about making us feel comfortable and trying to make us laugh.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The tour guide was a 2nd year student that didn't really know his way around. We also got teased by students of the school - but hey, how could you resist poking at 12 sweating interviewees that clearly aren't used to getting 'dressed to impress' ;)

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That you can never have enough questions to ask - but not to even worry about it. It's good to have questions prepared, but be sure that they will ALL be thoroughly answered + any that you could have possibly imagined

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

I was really nervous - it was my first - but my interviewers really did just want to get to know me. They will talk to you about anything you are open too. You MUST be able to laugh at yourself. Not only did I make a joke that NO ONE laughed at, but I fell over in my heels, almost slid down the handicap ramp, and ran into a bar I thought was a revolving door along the tour. These things happen ^.^
