What are your general comments?

"Very efficient process. 2 hours long. Chatted with first years cause I came ~half hour early. Short intro by admissions director. 20 minute interview. 5 minutes to read article, 15 minutes to summarize it. Q&A with the 3rd years. Biggest thing I learned from my interview experience was that the student body involvement is huge and you can make a ton of connections while you're there. Biggest advice: be prepared for all the common questions and know yourself/background well, so you can focus on appearing confident, talkative, and happy to be there." Report Response
