What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Tell me about your research in (X).
How did you prepare for the interview?
I read about the school and spoke to many people who attend(ed) it; also spoke to a handful of faculty.
What impressed you positively?
You can't beat the access to Boston hospitals. The facilities reflect the astronomical endowment they get.
What impressed you negatively?
The sense that the students there are the best of the best. While Harvard attracts students who can attain high marks, I found many of them difficult to talk to. I do not think these are the type of people I want as classmates. The school is too comfortable in the knowledge that 80% of their acceptances choose to attend. It is a smug place.
