Read my application. studied the school's web site. Searched the web for information about the school.
What was the most difficult question?
I was asked if I could interview anyone from modern day, who would it be. I said Condoleezza Rice because of her intelligence and diverse accomplishments. The interview got very upset and said that my answer was inconsistent with everything else I had said in my interview and inconsistent with my file. He said she was a liar for a pack of wolves and had turned her back on her own people. He talked about his dislike for her for about 15 minutes. I was extremely surprised by his reaction. Note to self: Don’t mention anyone who is even potentially controversial in an interview.
