What impressed you positively?
my interviewer was a great guy, Dr. Angerbratzen (spelling may be, likely is, wrong)
What impressed you negatively?
location. Stonybrook is north central L.I. I have been living in the city for several years and found the area to be a bit boring. But it is a great school and I would attend. They are very selective and have a great rep.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Interviews are not the first activity of the day. they are last, right before lunch and then you go home. so don't be too nervous upon arrival, you have time to relax and be anxiety free, until about 1pm
What are your general comments?
the interview itself went great. Dr. A. was very easy to speak with and a very nice man. Not a man interested in preying on your uncomfort. They know how difficult these interviews can be and he made an attempt to appease the situation by making small talk with me. Good guy, unless you have no conversational skills, then you may have a problem.
