⭐ Overall Impressions
How did the interview impress you?
Positively 🙂
What was the stress level of the interview?
2 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress
What are your general comments?
Nothing to worry about. A totally laid back day with most questions revolving around clarifying points in your file. Remember that UCSD requires an Independent Study Project (ISP) from students which requires writting a thesis before graduating.
