What was the most difficult question?

Student Interviewer: I have a good amount to present to the adcom, but what's the one thing you want me to be able to express to them?

sdn, made pages and pages of introspective interview notes (it's nice; you get to learn a lot about yourself), watched documentaries (something I would have done anyway)

Columbus isn't that great, but it's a big city, so if you are looking for the EM/trauma I'm looking for, it'll do well for you
