“Your interviewers aren’t there to scare you.” This is so true, even if they ask challenging questions. Having done some interviews myself, I always want the applicant to be themselves (so that we can make a good decision) as well as leave with a positive impression of the program, department, and school.

Thank you for commenting! It’s so interesting to hear your perspective from the other side of the interview process. I’m participating in my programs interviews this year, so I’m excited to see how all of this works from the inside.
