⭐ Overall Impressions

How did the interview impress you?

Positively 🙂

What was the stress level of the interview?

2 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What are your general comments?

All in all very low stress interviews. They seem to place a lot of merit on their interviews. The first year auditorium is a bit old. The students seem happy to be there and the area around the school is nice. They are very proud of their children's hospital and rightly so. It is a very impressive facility. The interviews were one on one and conversational. If accepted here I would most definitely go.
