How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the interview feedback questions from this website; asked family members who had been through the process before; video recorded myself

Everybody is soooo nice; campus feels safe and clean (in spite of what you hear about the surrounding area)

Not enough places to get food on campus; no exercise/sporting facilities on campus

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing, really.

What are your general comments?

I felt the interviewer was genuinely trying to test my qualifications beyond the numbers and achievements-critical thinking ability, maturity level and overall personality; much of his questioning was aimed at my awareness of culture, history, peoples' needs and, generally, to test the level at which I view the world.
