What impressed you positively?

the friendliness of the people, especially the students that came and talked to us

What impressed you negatively?

the closed file interview was very intimidating

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that the two interviews were vastly different from each other. the open file was great, the closed file was scary. one interviewer never spoke and the other just fired off questions. neither of them ever looked up at me.

What are your general comments?

i thought i did horribly, but i ended up getting accepted. i think the closed file interview was just a tactic, so keep your cool!!
