What impressed you positively?

cute P1 student for wrap up

What impressed you negatively?

Current students greeted us, but I felt it was forced. Professor I interviewed with was really tearing apart any answers i gave. Also, whenever I would look him in the eye, he would look away ( a twitch maybe?)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

It was okay, the professor I interviewed with didn't make it easy. He really picked me apart during the interview. And I had trouble maintaining eye contact when he would always look away while i'm talking.
