I looked at a lot of behavioral questions. The Nebraska interview was a lot different then the interviews reported for the main Iowa State campus.

Interviewers were very friendly and obviously prepared having read my file. Several of the questions were very specific regarding things I had put in the application.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

More about the differences between the Nebraska interview process and questions compared to the main campus.

What are your general comments?

Overall I had a really positive experience. Told some stories to get the interviewers laughing and generally had a good experience with the interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
