⭐ Overall Impressions

How did the interview impress you?

Positively 🙂

What was the stress level of the interview?

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

What are your general comments?

It was a good overall experience, I just had one really really tough interview. I was given no hints as to how either of the interviewers felt about me, and was asked some very thought provoking questions. I would not be too stressed about it, but really think through your answers and have a clear idea of why you want to be a doctor, and why OHSU.
