⭐ 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?

The school is in the middle of NOWHERE. Hershey is a pretty strange place, and there is absolutely NOTHING to do around the campus (I mean NOTHING.) The day was very well planned, they are on time for everything and well prepared generally (except my interviewers who hadn't opened my file.) The lunch was with M2's and M3's and was very helpful.
