MattK Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 So what is best to bring into the interview? a pad folio with some blank paper and a pen? Copies of your PS and/or supplemental essay? Pre-written questions for the ADCOMS? Or anything else (I'm open to suggestions)? Or would it be better to bring nothing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdahoPA Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Into the actual interview, I brought nothing. But I did have my purse with me throughout, in which I had: chapstick, a granola bar, mints, a toothbrush (which I always carry as I brush my teeth after lunch!), my phone (turned on silent as my sister is near the end of her pregnancy), a pen and a lil notebook. The latter were for writing down questions as I thought about them, but only while I was with current students/at lunch/taking a tour, not during the interview. I also brought my own water bottle, but that's because I'm a bit paranoid about that. Every place I've gone to has provided bottles of water and I haven't needed any additional paperwork. I would certainly be familiar with your PS and supp app, but it's not necessary to bring a physical copy of them. The adcom and students will likely answer the majority of your questions so it's not like you'll need to refer to a pre-written sheet. And you should prob recall what you'd like to ask them, anyway. Good luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lundkm18 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I did not bring anything. I was given a folder with all the program's informational handouts, a pen, and a notepad. They also provided water and food, and I kept my phone in the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Steve Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I tried taking a pad of paper into my interview and was politely reminded that it was not needed by the faculty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiaroscuro27 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Yep...you won't need to bring anything with you into the interview. Just prepare accordingly, and you should do just fine. Remember to have fun, also! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Not only that, but turn off the cell phone, or better yet, leave it in the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
