What are your general comments?

"This was the most relaxed experience I think I will have as far as interviews go. The admissions director was a little intimidating, but he seems like he is a good guy. We got there early and were lead to a room where the ad director talks about the school. The morning session (the one I was in) interviews almost immediately as you get upstairs, so be prepared to go once you get out of the elevator. The room was really small -- you cannot hide from any questions or eye contact. My interviewer was nice, and I didn't really get any hard questions. Afterwards we were treated to lunch and a video of their Match Day. A tour followed and I was back in my hometown six hours later. Painless. " Report Response
