DD had her interview at Sen Schumer's NYC office yesterday and had the same experience. She actually felt more comfortable with Sen Gillibrand's panel of 7 the previous week, but the questions yesterday were more basic about her goals, desire to attend an academy, etc. The office will continue interviews through next week and the receptionist told me that the NYC office is interviewing a total 65 applicants across the academies. She didn't know the breakdown or how many applicants were being seen in other offices.
