What are your general comments?

"The traffic in the morning was crap-tastic... However, the day was pleasant, overall, once you got there. The info sessions in the morning were helpful, the tour was nice, and the people were great... the admissions staff actually chatted with me near the end of the day for a good 20 minutes. The afternoon session was long because I was the last one of the whole group to interview... I don't think I interviewed until 4pm and we got done with our tour at 1pm! My advice: bring a book, just in case... and of course, don't schedule your flight out until much later than that because, again, traffic was crap-tastic. " Report Response
