What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That I had to walk outside to the research building where my interview was to be held.
What are your general comments?
It was high stress for me mostly because it was my first interview and I was nervous. She seemed to dwell on my GPA from undergrad (which sucked since I graduated 5 yrs ago). Overall, the questions were fast paced and I got the impression she wanted to make me feel uncomfortable to see how I handled pressure. Also she didn't seem too interested in my research and when I asked her about any opportunities for research she replied there wasn't much because I'd be too busy.
This interview definitely did not feel "conversational," more like confrontational.
