Interview Hump Surpassed

Unfortunately an interview with my top pick is required so it's no indication of hopefully being accepted. But the dude was friendly and asked the typical questions you'd expect. I wasn't sure if he was going easy on me or if I was just incredibly well prepared. He did have follow-up questions on both my career and outside activities, but they weren't especially difficult to answer. I guess I'd say they were more of his way of trying to reveal any bullshittery in my initial answers. Luckily there wasn't any :) His super-friendliness was a bit daunting since I couldn't really read him or his reactions very well. He might have been humoring me the whole time.

Oh well, it doesn't matter now. It's over. I hadn't interviewed in quite some time so I was pretty nervous about flubbing my words together or having sweaty palms and all that. But the glass of wine an hour prior helped calm me down a bit :) Though I don't recommend that to anyone who doesn't usually become a little more charming and animated with alcohol.

He he, dont worry. No interviewer will actually go easy upon u. If he feels you are not the right candidate, they will prolly wind up the interview. They will defniitely not go easy on u. You were well prepared, thats great! :) Good luck!

Which school was this for?
