⭐ Overall Impressions

How did the interview impress you?

Positively 🙂

What was the stress level of the interview?

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

What are your general comments?

It was really stress-free and to my surprise, no down-time between interviews and no ethical questions (I believe other students got some ethical/HMO questions, but my interviewer seemed more interested in finding out a lot about me as a person. If you can get a saturday interview anywhere, I highly recommend it. It seems to go by a lot quicker than weekday interview sessions.
