the friendliness of the students

What impressed you negatively?

The interview...it was closed file, so I assumed the interviewers would ask me to elaborate, or question me further on my answers. Nothing like this at all, they just moved onto the next question. By not feeding off my answers, and following a rigid set of questions, I didn't think they got a good idea of who I was.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That they wouldn't ask for elaboration, so I should have described everything!!

What are your general comments?

Wasn't impressed. I didn't think the interview format (structured questions without followup) fit the closed-file nature of the interview
