What are your general comments?
Dr. Haight is very frank with everyone, and it definitely puts you at ease in going into the actual interview. However, the interview itself leaves a lot to be desired. I understand that the group format allows them to see interactions between people, and how an individual functions in a group setting. However, because the questions come from so many sources and are just fired at you, I felt like I was under attack sometimes. Also the body language and personality of one of the interviewers made it seem like they were uninterested in what I had to say, so I flustered, and it was all downhill from there.
