How did you prepare for the interview?

I actually didn't this time. After so many other interviews it gets almost second nature.

What impressed you positively?

The faculty and students I met with were really great. The new lab space is gorgeous!

Report Response | I was asked this too

A little disorganized. For example, I didn't receive my interview schedule until the day before I left for Minnesota.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How early the day starts -- 7:30 am.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

It was a fabulous day (except for how early it started)! There are three steering committee interviews, which were really interesting. They were all very different, and yet still probing in their own ways. Then there is a student interview, which is pretty lowkey. Finally, there are three informal interviews with faculty at the school to introduce you to some of the research going on there. There is also a tour and a nice lunch at a restaurant at the top of the memorial union.
