What are your general comments?

"Park in the back and enter through the back entrance, which is technically the only entrance to the school (the atrium, or front, is off-limits). Use SDN, all of the questions are on here and in this format (the 8-9 question list is accurate!). Other than that, don't be nervous, everyone here is wonderful and is not trying to grill you! They never even look at your file so they truly wish to know you as a person, not as a student statistic! That, to me, speaks volumes!" Report Response
