What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"Don't talk to the people around you, a lot of people take different routes to get to where they are now (the interview), but you are all qualified in your own way. Basically, I ended up losing a lot of confidence going into the interview because I talked to a bunch of much more accomplished people around me. It really hurt my interview." Report Response

"Overall, it wasn't bad. Northwestern is a great place to go if you like big cities and extreme urban life.

They want to see the person you are, silly, weird, kooky, whatever. Just chill." Report Response
