Applicants commonly expressed disappointment with unengaged or cold interviewers, lack of conversational flow during interviews, and encountering unprepared or inexperienced interviewers. Suggestions included encouraging more interactive and personable interviews, ensuring interviewers are adequately trained and knowledgeable about the institution, and creating a more welcoming and engaging interview environment.
One of the student ambassadors in the pre-interview session did not answer a single question, my interviewer also did not seem interested and made very little conversation.
My interviewer was a new faculty member, so she couldn't really answer the majority of my questions, but it's not necessarily a bad thing as it's not her fault

Research really does not seem like a priority at this campus.

It was honestly very chill and low stress / simple questions (coming from someone who stresses over everything hahaha)
The interview was quite chill. My interviewer wasn't really conversational, but I actually preferred that, because I was able to take my time to answer all of the questions. I just wish I remembered to ask when I will hear back from them!
