How did you prepare for the interview?
I read over my app and secondary, had someone ask me interview questions every couple of days for about a week or so, researched the school, and researched some interesting things about Chicago
What impressed you positively?
The students were all very nice and close with one another. They were all very honest with their answers to our questions, and would pop in and out of class to come sit and talk with us, even the first years who had a big exam that day! The head of diversity at the school was also amazing, she radiated positivity and you could tell that she was truly invested in the students and making a difference at the school. Everyone I met was super passionate. They were also extremely accommodating of my special diet which was very sweet.
What impressed you negatively?
I had another interview in Chicago in December, and it was 3 degrees. Literally... And then for the school specifically, it was a bit difficult to get to my last interview, but in the end we found each other and had a great chat.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That I would be walking around the campus a lot so I could look at a map ahead of time.
