What are your general comments?

"So Vandy changed their interviewing process. You get a long open file one and a short closed file one. For me, both interviews were in the style of conversations but I heard from other interviewees that this is the not the case for the short closed file one. They get a list of 'hard questions" to challenge you in the short closed file. My interviewee asked the questions in a nice conversation way but she often picked some things that i said and asked me why I did it this way or why I didn't do it another way. So be prepared to not fall into traps and to hold your grounds confidently but not obnoxiously! Long open file was meant to give you a chance to talk about the things u want to focus on and just to get a sense of who you are. I find that mock interviews with your friends and significant other are a great way to get you more comfortable to talk about yourself! ASK yourself challenging questions! Good luck!"
