" Report Response

What are your general comments?

"This was definitely the most intense interview I have had. I felt that the interviewers didn't really get to know me because they seemed to be purposely trying to make me uncomfortable. The unfriendly attitude towards me made me not as friendly back, which I don't think is a way to interview someone. They also asked a lot of questions about the other schools I was applying to, which I didn't appreciate. They should just interview me for UConn and not make any judgement based on the other schools I'm applying to. " Report Response
