What impressed you negatively?
My second interviewer who wasn't attentive.....looked like it was past his bedtime....rubbing of his eyes, wandering eyes....I must have not been interesting enough or he just was too tired......of the two interview, this one only lasted 15 min while the first one lasted 30-35 min.

I don't think I would have liked living away from family/friends where my other acceptance is at. This visit made me realize this.
