i was recently waitlisted at nyu (like many people), which was surprising namely due to my interviewer ending the interview with the following words:
"Well, I do hope you choose to come here! I think you'd be a great asset to our school."
i have a very strong application. very good numbers and personal statement, and decent extracurriculars with several unique activities/hobbies. but that aside, having talked with other interviewees at other schools about their interview process, i have come to the conclusion that interviewers really should be cautious about the words they choose. i would honestly prefer the aggressive, hellish, and pseudo-offensive interview that is candid over the gentle and encouraging interview that is misleading.
i'd like to hear what the rest of my pre-med homies out there think
