Positively 🙂

What was the stress level of the interview?

0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What are your general comments?

Very positive. I came to Buffalo thinking that this would be my last choice, but it no longer is. Despite the crappy weather and the particularly conservative social environment, the professors appear very committed to helping students achieve their career goals. Also they obviously read your file and care about who you are during the interview process.
