other interviewers were nice, the staff was friendly, good TUSK internet access

What impressed you negatively?

they want to baby you here, I stayed in a dorm and it sucked, no one said hi and I had to basically stuff myself into a room to get anyone to talk to me. My interviewer hadn't read my file at all and she read it during the interview. The other interview was so short that i didn't get to say anything important

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

don't stay in posner unless you want to feel alone and isolate. There is no order to their interview afternoon, you are randomly called and you just have to sit in the same room all day until your interviewer finds you, its like speed dating kinda- short and superficial
