What are your general comments?

"This is a very solid school overall. They don't do any one thing to knock your socks off, but when you look at the entire package they clearly are a top-tier school.

The interviewers seemed much more interested in just seeing how I communicate and think rather than grill me with stupid questions." Report Response
