What are your general comments?

There were about 10 of us and the interview day started with the usual talk about the school....Dean was running late as he was flyig from somewhere so in that time we were taken to attend 2nd yr calss .... then we were taken back to the other buiding for the interview. My interviewer was called off so I was interviewed by the new Asst. Dean instead. Inerview turned out to be pretty good experience and it seemed that she had taken time to look thru' the file on such a short notice, which was nice. Then we had our financil aid talk follewed by Dean's speech. Then luch was served followed by the student tours. All in all a neat experience.
