What are your general comments?

"Short introductory meeting, then tour, then lunch, then interviews that afternoon. Student interview with a first year who might have been as nervous as I was, interview with Dr. McCluggage (which should have been intimindating, but he was very down to earth and we hit it off great). Both were open-file. Last interview was closed-file with faculty and went great. Very nice people who just wanted to learn more about me and were not out to trip me up or keep me out of their school. They let me know that it was going well and that I was basically in." Report Response
