🙂

How did the interview impress you?

Positively 🙂

What was the stress level of the interview?

3 / 10

0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What are your general comments?

I went in there with a stress level of 10 but by the time I met with my interviewer it decreased to 3. I wasn't asked any difficult questions. I was kind of worried going in after reading some of the negative comments that were posted on this site. However, I don't share the same opinion as those who were "negatively impressed" with the neighborhood surrounding the school especially since my undergrad institution is located in a similar area and I want to worked in an underserved community. If accepted I will seriously consider attending.
