"I didn't realize there would only be 10 of us interviewing. It didn't make a big difference, I was just a little surprised." Report Response
"My interviewer was very difficult to read, but was rather friendly and had a lot of impressive life experiences, which made for an interesting conversation. The only downside was that I felt a little worthless in light of his accomplishments, and I couldn't tell if he liked me or not. But I guess that's every interview... There is a lot of construction going on around campus, and I had to walk across campus (with a guide) to get to my interview, then walk back to get back to the admissions office. I'd recommend comfortable shoes, as there's quite a bit of walking throughout the day. The tour was nice, though a bit long. I liked that some first and second year students would come talk to the interviewees while we were sitting in the admissions office. Everyone seemed to really want to let you know how happy they were at Vandy." Report Response
