Have you been accepted anywhere yet? How do you know what school you want to go to (i.e. what criteria do you use in deciding which school you ultimately will attend) Which school would you actually go to if you got into all the ones you applied to? Well, certainly NOT NYU if she's there.

What impressed you positively?

That the free lunch ticket had no limit. Most schools have a $6 limit. I only got a sandwich and soda, but I should have gotten ice cream, chips, fruit, maybe even a hot entree on top of everything else.

What impressed you negatively?

The interviewer's disprespectful attitude. I flew 1,000s of miles to visit NYU, and she made me feel the trip was a waste of time and $$ with her attitude. This wasn't an "intimidating act." I strongly feel that my interviewer needs a vacation and some lessons in communication. Maybe she should consider another career if she's so unhappy in life.

What are your general comments?

First, to the other person who posted their interview experience on 12/11/02, I think I got the exact same interviewer that you did, because everything you said, I totally agree with (it happened to me too). Just to be sure, the interviewer's initials are "Z-F," am I right? Here's an example of her negativity. When I met her, I said "Nice to meet you. How are you today?" her response: "Why do you care? You don't know who I am." She challeneged all of my responses too, which should be okay in an interview situation. Except she did NOT give me the opportunity to explain my point of view. She struck me as an overall negative, unhappy person. I tried to ask her what her specialty was, but she said "no Personal questions!" Also, I asked her if she felt the faculty enjoyed working with students. Her answer,"No not all of them. How can you expect them to be happy when they teach the same thing over and over?" I hope her view is not shared by the rest of the NYU faculty. Judging from the majority of positive posts about NYU, I'd say that I got the one lemon interviewer. This was truly the most difficult person to talk to of ALL my interviews thus far. If you get Dr. ZF, be warned! she didn't seem to care if I picked NYU or not. She didn't sell the school at all. Maybe she just doesn't want me there.
