"Usually interviews last an hour, but we're 20 minutes short. Do you know why that is? He told me that I didn't seem talkative which made my face fall bc I thought I had been doing pretty well. Whatever, I got in, so don't worry if you get an old senile man who can't hear anything you're saying. " Report Response | I was asked this question too

"I hear that the students you interview with are always a good indication of the type of student body that the school has. The students I was with were so so friendly. One of them even stopped by after her interview to wish my good luck. Overall, I had a great day except at the end of the interview when my interview told me that I hadn't talked enough. But until that point, I thought the interview had been going really well. " Report Response
