my lab building is like this too. You can get out on the ground floor, but you cant exit the stairwell on any other level and get to the labs without card access
My awkward interview moments that I havent already mentioned earlier in the thread:
• one interviewer asked me if a friend had ever come to me for help, like with a drug problem. He was visibly disappointed when I said that none of my friends had drug problems or had shown signs of having any drug problems, although I keep an eye out for my friends and would gently offer to help them and give them support if they showed a sign of having one. Result: low waitlist that is essentially a rejection
• I asked a student interviewer at USUHS why he had chosen to go to USUHS over Texas Tech after being accepted to both, and he answered that Lubbock was a s***hole and he'd rather commit to the military for 7 years than live there, ever. I tried not to stare. Result: acceptance
• The extra-long nosehair (see a few posts up). Result: post-interview hold, still. Yes, still on hold on May 15.
• A female student interviewer at a top30 school asked me to tell her one of the stories of the Greek myths (I'm a Classical studies minor). Instantaneously, every myth fled from my head except those that involved a god raping a human woman or a god taking the form of an animal or inanimate object and raping a woman (to be fair, that means only like 25% of myths fled from my head). I squirmed the tiniest bit in my seat but skillfully dissembled by commenting that many of the myths had the same theme, which was that the gods have superhuman powers but share common human flaws and thus were the Greek's way of telling themselves stories about themselves--who they themselves were and what they themselves were like. Result: good position on waitlist. But there was definitely a very uncomfortable and awkward moment until I came up with that answer!
