I honestly didn't think the questions they asked were that bad. I've had way harder interviews so I over prepared I guess.

Apparently they will take a few more than previous years due to the 400+ applications. Not sure on the exact number of spots, but I do know 85 got selected for interviews.

She said they'll interview Tupelo applicants on the 1st, so I'd expect 2 weeks from now.
