What are your general comments?
Day began with no presentation, no introductions, nothing. Just 3+ hours of sitting in a room chatting with the other interviewees, Luckily they were all friendly. Since this was my last interview (out of 6)I was able to share experiences with them. Interviews ran long, and around 12:30 we were given a box lunch (cheap), and a discussion with current students who seemed enthusiastic, but knew very little about the new curriculum. Quick presentation by a student services person, who also seemed evasive about the "new" curriculum, followed by a tour to show off the woefully inadequate facilities and saw several unhappy students. Overall my least favorite of 6 schools, both in facilities and in general "vibe".
