what’s the interview conversion rate/do you need one to get an A
I've heard their interview is kind of weird
it's crazy that they're still doing interviews considering how understaffed they are
UT interview was so brutal, just the whole format made it really tough to be yourself I feel.
I was a dancer in a foreign country this summer does that count

From what I've heard, UR II at Penn is necessary but not sufficient for an A. Not everyone get's one. But that could be wrong
I was a Texas undergrad -> we were shit at football all 4yrs. took a year off -> make the playoffs. Maybe its for the best if I don't go back...
