⭐ 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?

A really nice day. I appreciated that it didnt start until 11. It will always be a big group of applicants, since they only interview once a week, but I thought that was neat because I met a lot of people. I would recommend going to the post-interview wrap up because there are lots of students and adminstrators there to chat with.

How did you prepare for the interview?

Interview Feedback, Jefferson's website, talked to a friend who attends the school.

What impressed you positively?

The Dean and Director of Admissions are so warm and interested in the students. The Director, Grace Hershman, even gave me driving directions at the end of the day.

What impressed you negatively?

There weren't many interesting stops on the tour, just going into the lobbies of buildings.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How to pronounce my interviewer's name! I found out that some of the other interviewees didn't realize their student interview was being evaluated because it seemed so informal.
