The writing sample was like other writing samples, take this paragraph and tell me in your own words...
the interview was more casual, like a conversation. The only thing is, there are other applicants there answering, so if you go first, you sometimes forget a point that another student makes and you think, "darn, that's a good point!" 🙂
I really liked the two professors who interviewed me. The tour of the facility is super small, and was the least memorable. NF said that they would be sending out acceptance letters march? which seems like a while...perhaps accepted students hear back earlier? not entirely sure if they conduct all interviews before making a selection or if they pick as they go. She did say that the deposit for your seat is due within about 2 weeks after acceptance.
