What are your general comments?

"Haight was sweet, but contradicted himself many times during his presentation. For instance, he spent twenty minutes talking about how other,less competent schools over-enrolled their classes - a few mintutes later he then admitted TCOM over-enrolls by >30%, but tried to call it something else. He seemed so eager to please I didn't trust him at all by the end of his presentation. He dodged a question about board scores. Friendly tour guide was a first year who didn't show us student center/ housing. The group interview is actualy kind of cool because you can see what other people say during their interviews and judge how you are doing compared to the rest of the group. Interviewers were very cool, but I was taken aback when interviewers got into a short discussion between themselves about whether or not nursing school was starting in fall. It seemed like something proffesors would be at least minimally informed about. I was accepted but also got into CCOM same day and chose CCOM, in part because TCOM wants $2000 deposit within 2 weeks.
