⭐ Overall Impressions

How did the interview impress you?

Positively 🙂

What was the stress level of the interview?

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

What are your general comments?

to be honest, it seemed a bit disorganized. the admissions office lady as well as two students took turns leading us on the tours. and then, we were told to wait for a hospital tour later on, if we wanted to ... and the interview was good, the doctor (pediatrician) and i talked about the pros and cons of medicine, the financial strain, the loans process and the government, and the pros and cons of pediatrics. a good conversation, overall

nice lecture hall. not a bad neighborhood. nice apartments.
