⭐ Overall Impressions
How did the interview impress you?
Positively 🙂
What was the stress level of the interview?
4 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress
What are your general comments?
I had a very positive experience. One of my interviewers was excellent (Dr. Gold). He made me feel completely comfortable, and explained everything I needed to know about the school.
Everybody was very nice. The students all wanted to answer all of your questions.
Oh, I said above that it was open file, but it is really half open/half closed. They have access to your personal statement and all that, but are not supposed to look at your numbers. They look at that afterwards
