What are your general comments?

"The day was like my interview days. Everyone meets in the lobby and they take you to a room w/ breakfast where you get to know some of the other interviewees and get a slide show on the school itself. Then they gave us a ten-minute essay, which was pretty nerve racking being that it takes me forever to gather my thoughts and write an essay. I thought it was awful but I was accepted so it couldn't have been that bad. A financial aid slide show is given and then you are taken on your interviews. After interviews, they give you a coupon for lunch at the cafeteria (which is pretty good I might say). After lunch, you go on a tour of the campus, and then a brief closing is given and the day is over around 3 pm. " Report Response
