How did you prepare for the interview?
Reviewed personal statement, reviewed school info (philosophy, mission statement, etc), practice interview with my undergrad faculty.
What impressed you positively?
The interview was very low-stress and had a conversational feel. My interviewer was friendly and seemed interested in what I had to say.
What impressed you negatively?
There were well over 100 applicants there, which was slightly overwhelming, but understandable considering the class size.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Be prepared to play the waiting game after your interview. I interviewed in October and did not hear back until mid-April. Also, follow-up thoroughly (I cannot stress this enough) after submitting any information. The admissions office mistakenly input my committee letter as a single faculty letter, which was not caught until I called to verify its receipt.
What are your general comments?
I really enjoyed my individual interview. Make sure to stay on top of admissions office details.
