What was the stress level of the interview?
3 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress
What are your general comments?
There were two 2 on 1 interviews of 20 minutes each and an essay. One is with a faculty and student and the other is an alumni and student, although my faculty and student was really with two faculty. I felt the alumni-student interview was very low stress (1) and the two faculty interview was a bit higher (5), but that was probably because I was nervous around the faculty. Also, the interviews were semi-closed file...the interviewers could see neither grades nor PCAT scores. The experience definately confirmed this school as my top choice.
