What was the most interesting question?

"Nothing too out of the ordinary - How did you get to where you are now? Why NY? Why the Bronx? Could you live here? Why Albert Einstein? Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

Overall, he seemed to be testing (in a nice way) my resolve to attend Einstein. " Report Response | I was asked this question too

What was the most difficult question?

"Nothing was overly difficult. He was very friendly, easy to talk to, and peppered me with a lot of questions about myself and my interests. More like a conversation than an interview.
