What are your general comments?

"This was by far the most impressive school I interviewed at. I was really amazed, and I think that it made more nervous than I needed to be. Overall I thought the admissions faculty treated us like gold and the students seemed to love the school. I thought that closed file interviews were not very effective, and felt like I had a hard time getting all my points across in the 30 minutes because my interviewer had to get to know me from scratch. I came away feeling a little uneasy about the faculty interview, but it must have been fine because I just got accepted. " Report Response
