✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the UIC course catalogue, viewed SDN interview feedback, re-read personal statement

What impressed you positively?

How laid-back the campus seemed (it is Rockford, after all, and not Chicago).

What impressed you negatively?

How small and somewhat antiquated the facilities were.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They gave us the wrong meeting time, so everyone showed up about 2 hours early.

What are your general comments?

This was my first interview, and it went well. Two docs, one M3 were my interviewers. Afterwords, the M3 fielded any other questions I had. Relaxed, somewhat informal atmosphere. Be prepared to go over your personal statement in some detail; this is the only part of my application that they had readily available.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
