"We interviewed in a coffee shop which stressed me out because it was sometimes hard to hear what she was saying...also it was distracting during the essay. However, it did give the interview more of a relaxed feel- I probably would have been even more stressed if we interviewed at her office."
"Do not stress about it, read questions online"
"Make sure to relax and speak clearly and slowly. Don't get thrown off by the lack of facial expression the interviewer has."
