I just registered to do an interview with U of R in November, I was wondering if anyone had any tips to make a good impression? What should I talk about, what should I avoid, things like that. This is one of my top choices.

Also hoping you could estimate the chances of me getting accepted.

Tips for the interview are mostly to be yourself and don’t spout your resume, which they can read. Talk about what you’re interested in and why and why this school.

I have no idea how to evaluate chances, particularly for a school which looks more deeply at applications than some.
