There was a LOT of downtime when other applicants and I were sitting in the admissions conference room waiting for our interviews. Luckily the other interviewees were nice and fun to talk to, but there were awkward moments.
What are your general comments?
Drexel was my first interview. I was stressed out only because it was my first interview. My interviewers (admissions office staff member and student) were nice and laidback. I was totally relaxed halfway through the day and at times forgot that I was being interviewed.
