Hi all,
I am so depressed. I just had my first interview ever at BU and I don't think it went well at all. Needless to say, I was very nervous and was like a deer in the headlights for the first question (about my research). I recovered as well as I could from that, but then he hit me w/ 2 difficult ethics questions. I think he was somewhat satisfied w/ the answer to the first question, since he did not pursue it further. For the second question, after giving him my answer, he gave me more information and asked if that additional information changed my opinion, which I said it did.
The questions I asked of him were pretty standard, since the students answered most of them. Ugh. I think I am going to cry thinking about it. I swear he looked like he was going to fall asleep. There was zero chemistry with this person, which made it much more difficult.
Is it hopeless? From your interview experiences, what do you think? Am I reading too much into this?
