⭐ 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?

I school had a good feel to it. I liked the people I met and the student body seems happy. They are doing a lot of expanding and I think that means that there will be more opportunities for the students. There is a good cross-section of the population that uses the hospital, so I think you would get a well rounded education. It doesn't hurt that it's a train ride away from Philly and NY.
