What impressed you positively?

Interviewers in cold interview asked interesting questions and seemed interested in learning more about me.

What impressed you negatively?

Open file interview (at head of table with 4 interviewers around) was very stressful, and both interviews were too short. I felt like the interviewers in the open interview purposefully asked questions about your answers to get you to reach your stress point.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I apparently can speak and still not make any sense.

What are your general comments?

My poor performance was mostly due to my nervousness. I wish I had done more mock interviews. Very short, and I didn't feel like I really had any time to shine, especially after flubbing up my first question.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No responses
