Okay, so... instead of channeling the anxiety in the post-interview period, pre-acceptance period into negative energy, I say we plan for where we're going to go (if we get in!). Post the schools you interviewed at, ranked from 1. top choice to lesser choices. So while the schools are taking their time to rate you, let's rate THEM! Include:
a. month interviewed
b. accepted/denied/wait-listed/waiting to hear
c. stressfulness of interview, 1 to 10 scale (10 highest)
d. personal perception of performance, 1 to 10 (1 totally bombed, 10 totally aced)
e. interview's ability to assess your skills, 1 to 10 (1 did not assess my skills well at all, 10 gave me a chance to shine)
f. how much you liked the location, 1 to 10 (1 hated this bootleg town, 10 can I live here already?)
g. random notes/experiences
1. UCSD
a. Feb 2014
b. waiting to hear
c. stress: 3
d. performance: 8
e. skills assess: 7
f. location: 10
g. hot damn I loved the weather and cliffs of La Jolla; the campus smelled AMAZING
2. UCSF
a. Feb 2014
b. waiting to hear
c. stress: 9
d. performance: 9
e. skills assess: 9
f. location: 5
g. did not like the angry homeless people and overly PDA-ing couples
3. UF - St. Pete
a. Feb 2014
b. waiting to hear
c. stress: 5
d. performance: 9
e. skills assess: 6
f. location: 8
g. beautiful weather, sunny more often than SoCal and tons of beaches; but so many old people and lack of culture
4. SUNY Buffalo
a. Nov 2013
b. accepted
c. stress: 6
d. performance: 8
e. skills assess: 8
f. location: 2
