What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"they also give you a personality test. my interviewer told me it is not a factor in the admissions process, but they may use it in the future for research purposes. it just caught me off guard and was a little surprising to have to answer 200 questions rating things like "people like me," "i cheat at solitaire," and "i usually like to work alone." Also, the first time their board meets is not until January, which was sort of disappointing, just because it adds to the waiting game. Also, you are given a sheet of paper to give to your interviewer with a sample question to get you started. So, know what you want to sell about yourself." Report Response
