What are your general comments?

I had talked to the dean of health sciences and the assistant dean who admits students into the program a day earlier from my interview and did not know about them. The assistant dean had ask me alot of questions as if he was interviewing me or something. He then asked my name at the end. Overall experience of the interview is decent...nothing surprising....though other interviewees I was with seemed to be very nervous. I was nervous myself. The process was slow, because staff had gone to a meeting...had to wait around for 40 minutes. Had a writing assessment...typical and easy...and then, a math assessment (basic arithmetic)...darn easy too...25 minutes each assessment. Last a quick tour around the building since it was raining that day. Best suggestion...be relax !!!!
