How did you prepare for the interview?

This site, reviewed my ap, mock interview, induced vomiting (not really), a little yoga followed by coffee.

Burlington, try the Single Pebble for dinner but don't go alone (you need a res). Get out and talk to people, its weird how nice they are.

What impressed you negatively?

The extreme, intense, relentless, bitter, aweful cold. Dress warmly.
