⭐ 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 student interviewer was fantastic, very enthusiastic. The faculty interviewer was laid back and very interested in being my advocate on the admissions committee. However, my interviewer didn't read my file before or during my interview; he said he preferred to get to know me as a person first.
