⭐ Overall Impressions

Positively 🙂
What was the stress level of the interview?
7 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress
What are your general comments?
Dr. Richards interviewed me and it was a positive experience. She asked some tough questions (not the easy cheesy "what's your favorite class" type question). She seems tough and has high expectations for the applicants but I did not find her to be overly intimidating and not at all nasty (as I was partially expecting based on the girls comment about the interviewer "making" her cry).
