⭐ 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?

The entire groups gets an hour long orientation (talks about financial aid etc), then you are split into two groups. One group starts interviews while the other starts the essay. Then you switch. There is a little campus tour thrown in there in the middle. The interview was EASY. It was like a conversation with friends, laughing and whatnot. A couple serious questions but nothing bad. The majority of questions they ask are from their sample interview questioins on their website. And I did get accepted.
