What are your general comments?

"This being my 18th interview I was attending I was pretty nonchalant and only went because I had already bought my train ticket and did not want to waste my money. So I was pretty surprised by how much I like the school. The interview day is all student run - literally student run. The only time faculty gets invovled is for financial aid, the interview, diversity speech and of course an introduction to the Dean of Admissions. This impresed me immensly! The admissions coordintors are fabullous, well organized, informed and approachable. They started the day off with an ice breaker which I thought was cheesy but by the time it came around to me I was into it and actually like the fact that they did that. Afer that the Dean comes in. She is personable, friendly and candid. I liked her. Then some diversity and finacial aid stuff (scary - there tutition will be well over $40,00 pretty soon). Then the student interviews - mine I did not like (see below). Lunch (not as great as other places.) Tour with a student they try to match you in groups with (they did not do such a great match for me) and my tour guide seemed to have and aversion to escalators and elevaaors. He made us use the stairs one too many times. I wonder if he realised we would like to go to our interview poised and ready and not breathless. Then the faculty interview (I liked my interviewer) Then a post interview wrap up with the dean and students which was very informal and I enjoyed alot." Report Response
