Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

I really didn't get many questions, and when I did, he usually interrupted me after a sentence or two. The interview was basically an hour of him talking at me. He was nice, but I didn't feel like I was able to express myself much at all.

What impressed you positively?

The students really seemed to like the school, and the facilities were great. Curriculum updates seem to have gone over well.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Interview style, general feelings about the school and how I felt there. I'm also not very enthusiastic about going that far South, although Nashville does seem like a nice city.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Lots of down time, especially since I had the earliest interview. They give a few suggestions of things to do, but it wasn't enough to really occupy me for the three hours or so I had with nothing scheduled.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Part of it was probably airline nightmares and the odd interview, but I just didn't get a good feeling about the school. Not a good fit for me, I guess. Least favorite interview experience I've had so far.
