What are your general comments?

"All of the admissions staff did a really nice job in making us feel welcome and reassuring us that they weren't there to make us nervous. That put me at ease. My interviewers were very nice, however the questions they asked were supposed to be conversation starters, but it was more they ask a question, i respond, they nod and write something down. No real conversation took place so i'm not sure how good of a predictor those questions are at figuring out what type of person i am." Report Response
