⭐ Overall Impressions

How did the interview impress you?

Positively 🙂

What was the stress level of the interview?

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

What are your general comments?

The school, faculty, and students are ultra impressive and they're not afraid to let you know it when you get there. The emphasized over and over that they were not competitive and that it was the undergraduate institution that is competitive. I thought the sitting around in a room with all the other applicants for so long was stressful and created a strange environment; knowing straight out that only about 2-3 of the 10 would be accepted furthered that feeling.
