What impressed you negatively?

Nothing!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Not to be nervous about the interview. The interviewers put me at ease right at the beginning and I wasn't at all nervous.

What are your general comments?

Had to write a 15 minute essay answering one of two questions. There was a greyhound in the waiting room which really helped to calm me down before I went in. My interview was supposed to be about 30 minutes but ran to about 35 minutes. The interview itself was more like a long, guided conversation. The interviewers were sincerely interested in me, asking me questions that I know they hadn't planned to ask me. They weren't afraid to laugh and seemed to actually enjoy the interview. Of all the interviews I had gone to, WSU was the only one that I felt I had shown the interviewers who I really am.
