How did you prepare for the interview?

Read US news, ethics books, and reviewed my application.

What impressed you positively?

Students were very excited about the school and willing to share honest advice and info.

What impressed you negatively?

The interview. I did not feel that I was given a chance to share all of my relevant experiences and interests, because they would cut me off in the middle of my answers. They told me before we began that they would do that in the interest of time, but one of the interviewers seemed more interested in listening to himself, and took up a good portion of the time that I could have been sharing my experiences.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

You are only judged by the interview. Even lunch with the Dean of Admissions has no weight on your application.

What are your general comments?

Some interviewers were rude, and seemed more concerned with proving their own intellect than assessing mine.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
