"this was my first interview so naturally i was really nervous...but shouldn't have been! the interviews were basically just conversations. there were no tough questions, the interviewers just wanted to get to know you a bit i think. definately a low stress day. Also, the students seemed genuinely happy and friendly...i came into the day not thrilled about UMASS and left with a completely different feeling. the faculty/staff/students all seemed wonderful and they definitely sold me on the school!"
