✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

9 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

9 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read my application, brainstormed examples/stories/ideas for a lot of common interview questions

What impressed you positively?

They really wanted to make us feel comfortable and relaxed

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing was super unique about the school...all they covered was basics of the program/curriculum/school. Other schools stood out more to me because they told me about specific and personal things that were unique to their school and program.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Some interviewers will drill you a bit more than others. I had one super conversational interview, and one that I was literally sweating through. I also did not know there was a third, outside interview until I received the email with my assignment a few days before.

What are your general comments?

I was accepted. My recommendation is to be as genuine as possible in your answers--they are excellent at knowing when your answers are scripted/over-practiced. Brainstorm ideas but avoid practicing your actual answers unless you really struggle with interviews.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
