⭐ 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?

overall terrific experience: admissions escorts you to your interview, interviewer escorts you back - students seem really happy there and get really excellent clinical training. other plusses: organ-based curriculum, extra mini-courses (photography or something of the sort), *CHEAP* tuition, supportive faculty. Downsides are the facilities and the sub-crappy neighborhood...but those are the prices to pay for really good clinical experiences.
