Guys..lets relax and share any funny,awkward moments at interviews;Could be yours or one of your friends.'; It not only lightens up the mood..but also helps others NOT to do what you should not:laugh:
I shared interview questions,but feel free to add anything related to the interviews that you noticed🙂

Let me start..I'm from the East Coast and interviewed at one of the west coast schools.The interview was something like this..

She hurried to open the door for me and I just happily walked in. (No thank you's from me..😱)
I took the chair and this is what followed

She:Which other schools did you apply to?
I: oh other california schools
She:And?
I:NYU,Boston, etc etc...because I am from the East Coast (OMG..why did I even say that!!!!!😡)
Her expression became a bit feeble by then..

After sometime..

She:What do you when you are stressed?
I: I swim a lot to relieve stress and think about the issues blah blah...
She:But what if you dont have the time to swim?
I: (after much thought)....the office that I worked for, has an exercise ball. My dentist and I take turns to relax our back on the ball
She couldnt speak anymore:scared:

This was the only interview where I got waitlisted🙁.Accepted at 3 others after this..atleast this one helped me on what not to do:laugh:)


This happened to one of my friends...

Interviewers:Any questions for us?
She:No..I spoke to many of my friends at the university.They told me all that I need to know.

Needless to say she got waitlisted..
