How did you prepare for the interview?

read thoroughly over the website (they have a VERY unique curriculum that you should understand before going to your interview)

What impressed you positively?

the facilities were BEAUTIFUL. the curriculum is really innovative and non-traditional

What impressed you negatively?

durham, nc. yick. i hear chapel hill is cool, though.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

how young everyone was. average age was like 22? being a little on the non-trad side, this is a sketch too young for me, i think

What are your general comments?

it was an informative day, not too stressful. interviews were conversational. started w/"tell me about yourself" and went from there. they're really big on that 3rd year research year, so be prepared for that. do NOT apply if you're not interested in research. the students seemed alright, a little high-schooly, but i only met a couple of them. i think i met like 3 students over 24 the entire day, and only one M1 over 24.
