What was the most interesting question?

My interviewer pulled out a question from a past step one exam and asked me to tell him the answer. It was multiple choice, but there were 10 choices so I crashed and burned. I felt such pressure that I had to read the question several times to comprehend it, but I still didn't know half of the vocabulary. The guy couldn't let it go, though. I struggled over that stupid question for 10 minutes.

What impressed you positively?

The class is small so I'm sure the students get plenty of attention.

What impressed you negatively?

My first interviewer was a second year student 2 years older than myself. It was much harder to talk to him. Also, he was totally stone-faced. I tried to joke with him and couldn't get him to smile once. My second interviewer told me if he was paying for his daughter's college tuition, he would choose her major, regardless of her opinion. (He doesn't think she'll get much money with her current career path.) Fortunately, she had a scholarship. He then informed me that the best thing for her would be if she married a rich man. I guess I didn't hide my disgust well because I didn't get in.
