Reread my application, read the website

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The interviewers had taken a lot of time to read through my file before the interview. Their questions were thoughtful. I felt like they really wanted to get the best possible picture of who I am, and were not trying to grill me.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The interview day itself was pretty disorganized. There was no presentation on the curriculum, the research opportunities, financial aid, or the office of diversity. I'm used to schools trying to sell me on their strong points, but UNC didn't do that at all. I guess they figured that their reputation should speak for itself.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had more thoroughly versed myself in the ins and outs of the curriculum. One of my interviewers helped develop it, and wanted to talk about the little details of it.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

The facilities are pretty old, but the students seem to get along well, and Chapel Hill in general is a great town.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

The interview day is an opportunity to sell your interviewees on the school. Bring in people to talk about its strong points and some of the details not readily available on the website. One positive: best interview day food that I've had so far!
