⭐ Overall Impressions

How did the interview impress you?

No change 😐

What was the stress level of the interview?

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

What are your general comments?

I interviewed with a Pathologist; she was nice enough, but I think she spends too much time in her lab looking at slides. It was a very awkward conversation. She didn't ask any interesting questions, just had me elaborate on my file - which, by the way, your interviewer will read for the first time in front of you. Overall, the school looked like it would be, more or less, a fine experience, but I saw nothing that particularly impressed me.
