What are your general comments?

It wasnt at all stressful. I had an afternoon interview whcih can be both good and bad. One negative thing about having it in the afternoon is that you have to come in a few hours early for the tour and everything, the good part though is after the tour I knew everything about the school and community , so if the interviewer asks any questions about the school or Brooklyn you already have a good idea of both. Overall it was okay, the tour guides were 3rd and 4th year students they were really nice and very helpful, so is the whole staff.
