No change 😐

2 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What are your general comments?

It wasn't a bad interview by any means. The first interviewer was a 3rd year student who obviously hadn't looked at my file. She stumbled around a bit, and I think I caught her on a few "things" she should have known if she even GLANCED at my file...The second interviewer was a faculty member. He was a bit more organized and to the point. Both were very low stress and conversational. Being out of state, I was not surprised to be placed on "Hold" only one week after the interview...
💬 Interview Process

What was the most interesting question?

How many people die of lung cancer each year? (I understand the 'though process' goal behind these questions, but seriously...

How did you prepare for the interview?

Nothing

What was the most difficult question?

When was a time you were tempted to do something that would break the rules or be morally wrong? What did you do? What happened?

What impressed you positively?

The heaters were working.

What impressed you negatively?

The students I talked to said, "don't go here. you'll hate it." I kept an open mind, but honestly, I'm just not a Buffalo weather kind of guy... =/

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I could have skipped out on a lot of the tour and rhetoric bs.
