✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read this website, talked to others applicants, and read the newspaper.

What impressed you positively?

How nice the people were. The interviewers were not a part of the admissions board. They were advocates and not adversaries. I liked that a lot!

What impressed you negatively?

The bagels.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Find out where to park. Make your self famiiiar with the building and know where to go. It makes you look more prepared. Who wants to walk around in a suit all morninig looking for the meeting room?

What are your general comments?

It was a good experience. They had a "program" for an hour to help relax you. I was actually ready to do my interview when I got there. Sitting around for an hour with 15+ other applicants can make you more nervous in my opinion. The interviewers want to help you. It's not a drill session!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
