What was the most interesting question?

a followup to a question about how I manage my schedule at work when I have many things to do. after giving my answer, which in my opinion was a good answer, he asked if i used a schedule book? and since i don't, i said no. it rattled me for a second cause i was second guessing my answer but then i recovered well.

What impressed you positively?

students all were super cool and made everyone relax. it helped me sooo much since i was very anxious

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

facillities weren't all that great/building was really old. the adcom officially stated that the interview is closed file, but the interviewer did know where i did my undergrad....made me wonder. also, i didn't know that my interviewer would invite a P4 student to sit in, but he ended up being really cool and didn't ask me any questions. It was actually a good buffer between interviewer and myself so i guess it was a negative turned positive
