How did you prepare for the interview?
I prepared pretty thoroughly, preparing answers for a lot of the questions listed in this website. But I really could have prepared much less for this particular interview.
What impressed you positively?
The admissions committee are people who really want to optimize their education.
What impressed you negatively?
Nothing about the school. But I was very surprised by the fact that I wasn't even asked about the contents on my application. It made me question the importance of interviews.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
It was my first interview, so I don't regret putting in a lot of effort to prepare for it.
What are your general comments?
But I spoke with several other applicants, and some of them did get the normal questions. So it is a very random process.
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
The entire process appeared to be very relaxed. While I was happy with how I answered the questions, I was left wondering whether the admissions committee weighed these interviews heavily (as opposed to just a means to weed out the insane applicants).
