What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Why do you want to attend Penn State.
What was the most interesting question?
The first interview was very much of a conversation, he did not ask any pre-planned questions, nor did he take any written notes. We discussed my interests, military history being one of them, and then moved onto the effects of September 11th. Very low stress, and dare I say it, kinda fun.
