No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, read my secondary, READ YOUR PERSONAL STATEMENT...that is all the interviewers have seen

What impressed you positively?

COST!!!! Peoria students can have FREE housing at apartments within walking distance of the school. Peoria is not as bad as I thought. Students appear happy and everyone knows each other very well. Students are well prepared for Step 1 and 2.

What impressed you negatively?

The Chicago campus fills by early December; all others spend M-1 at Champaign and are then spilt between Peoria and Rockford (~50 each)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Chicago was probably full.

What are your general comments?

The interview is fairly laid back but interviewers are still very direct w/ their questions. If I get in but must go to Peoria I would give it serious concideration whereas before I might have not.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
