What are your general comments?

"My interview experience was very good. The interviewer was very informal and the interview was relaxed: more like a conversation than an interview. My interview lasted about 1hr 45min because we really became engrossed in the conversations and issues of the discussion. The school also tries to pick its class by the end of December, so interviews after that are usually for the alternate list. The admissions committee meets every Wednesday, so you can usually find out if you are admitted fairly quickly (my interview was on a Wed. and I was accepted a week later)" Report Response
