What are your general comments?

Dr. Haight was wonderful, he was informative, professional and funny. As for the interview session itself; the panel of interviewers were not at all friendly. The interviewers looked bored, unhappy and intimidating the entire time. About 90% of the questions we were asked were general questions; slightly related to our personal file but not quite. This interview was not as "laid back" as I was anticipating, it may be b/c i'm a very nervous person esp under pressure. I felt as if I wasn't able to express myself and allow the interviewers to learn about me at a more personal level. From this point on... their impression of me is 100% subjective and i believe the questions I was asked were random and have very little pertinence to me and are difficult to use as a gauge to measure my 'fit' and abilities to being an integral part of TUCOM-MI campus.
