Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

3 of my 4 interviewers were former engineers and I'm an engineering grad so I felt we really connected. The interview was my most painless. I also felt like the school was really solid on fundamentals, but also down to earth.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The building was incredible warm. We were all dying on the tour and because of the heat, it was tough to concentrate. Also, there is a lot of waiting downtime that added some anxiety to the day.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No leftie desks in the MS2 lecture hall. Certainly not a deal breaker, especially since I'm a righty.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Overall, it was a really good interview day. The waiting facilites and the cafeteria they took us too were very nice, especially for a state school. The building is a bit run down, but seems to have up to date equipment. I loved my interview, but I think I just got very lucky - it was like they hand-picked my interviewers and questions just for me.
