How did you prepare for the interview?

Looking over question samples on SDN. Thinking critically, and logically, about problems.

What impressed you positively?

The very new facilities and how nice everyone was.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing, but it was very cold. The weather at the time was below 30F, so make sure you check the weather forecast and pack accordingly.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

We couldn't bring our notepads into the interview rooms, so it was really hard to get the names of the interviewers.

What are your general comments?

Don't stress out over this interview. They already know about how smart and accomplished you are. Just push on ahead and think clearly. This MMI is meant to assess your logical and critical thinking skills. Expect to be taken outside of your comfort zone with these questions, and work on potential follow up questions. In the end, make good conversation with the interviewers.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
