What are your general comments?

"There were 14 of us on the day I went. Brian breezed through a powerpoint presentation and quickly got to know us and allowed us to learn a little about each other which helps because the competitive feeling decreased once we started talking. We toured the school, talked to students in the lab for about fifteen minutes, then went to lunch with about five to seven students which was really cool because they had time to really talk and honestly answer our questions and address our concerns. Then we were broken up into three groups (each with 4 or 5 students) and proceeded with the group interview. It was nerve wrecking at first but don't be afraid to agree with someone else then just add on to what they said. But in reality every applicant is so unique that we all had different experiences and different qualifications so there was no need to come up with a ''better answer''. Also in a group setting, we were able to ask many questions and have a conversation rather than an interrogation." Report Response
