- Gigantic class size of like.. 300+ (more seats = more acceptances)
- Interviews are generally 15-30 minutes long and very casual (or so I thought..)
- NYU is $$$ from my pocket.
- Still worth it to go to an interview because it was a pre-Dec. interview, and I wanted to maximize chances of getting into any dental school by the first deadline. Plus, its NY - who wouldn't love the chance to check out NY?!
So, I ventured on, bought plane tickets (for you CA people, don't make the mistake that I did for my first interview and buy tix on Southwest.. Check priceline and then Yapta to get good prices for flights, that are hopefully direct. Transfers are the worst.), reserved a spot on super shuttle (I WILL NOT POST THEIR LINK BECAUSE I HATE SUPER SHUTTLE), and made sure I had warm clothes.
Okay, now to the good part. I get to the admissions office 15 minutes early, to find 8 other applicants already waiting. I sign in at the desk, and get assigned the number 9 - turns out they conducted interviews in order of who showed up first. Filled out some paperwork, and before I knew it, my interviewer called me to the room.
Enter, the Interviewer from Hell (IFH)..
