The entire experience was more comfortable and pleasant than I thought it would be. I felt that the interviewers tried their best to learn more about me beyond the numbers. It was more like a conversation rather than an inquisition, which I enjoyed.

What is the reason behind my weakness of being somewhat of a procastinator (after I confessed this fact)?

What impressed you positively?
I loved the general attitude of the students. They seemed very content and I also detected a general sense of collective solidarity.
What impressed you negatively?
Nothing really. I was quite impressed with the school.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Morning traffick was worse than I predicted. I did some detailed research on the school so I nearly eliminated the element of surprise.
