⭐ Overall Impressions
How did the interview impress you?
Negatively ☹️
What was the stress level of the interview?
2 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress
What are your general comments?
Overall a well planned day although there was no free time to brush up before the interview. The students were helpful and available but a little too "in your face" for me. All the students said it was the best decision they ever made making it sound a little rehearsed.

Construction and disconnected facilities. Lack of breaks during the day.
