What are your general comments?

"The interviewer was from a pacific rim country. It was incredibly difficult to understand anything that they said. It was also tough to be sure that I was understood. After the interview, I am no longer interseted in this school. Questions do come off of a form, be prepared for the ones you read here. Hopefully OSU's admissions office reads these too and can improve for next year." Report Response
