⭐ Overall Impressions
How did the interview impress you?
No change 😐
What was the stress level of the interview?
4 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress
What are your general comments?
The school is awesome academically but lacked a community-feel. My interviewers seemed somewhat disinterested, and although they weren't really intimidating, I got the feeling they were trying to be negative in general and on purpose. I'd go to Duke if it's the best school I get into, but I'd rather be at a lower-tier school where students are interested in knowing each other, having fun, and learning, rather than just who gets the best residency at the end of it all.

seemed like a lot of students were gunners

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
admissions office is impossible to find, students don't want to house you so get ready to pay. getting an interview date is tough toward the end, so be ready to alter your schedule for them.
