How did you prepare for the interview?

talk to people who are in the school, check out their web-site, and read over some questions.

What impressed you positively?

The city. I didn't know Pitt is such a beautiful city.

What impressed you negatively?

The curriculum talk was too detailed and long. I thought it wasn't as necessarily.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the day would be so long.

What are your general comments?

First they fed you breakfast. There was a tour, a talk about the curriculum, and lunch with the students. Then I had a student interview and a faculty member interview, each was about 50 min. The student was great, but the faculty member talked the whole time himself. I enjoyed listening to him, but I wasn't sure if he got a good idea of who I am at all. There was also a 15min interview with the dean of admissions, and it was just an informal chat. I thought that was nice since we don't often get to talk to the dean on a one-on-one basis.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
