What are your general comments?

This was the most organized and friendly interview day that I have encounted. I was truly impressed with the involvement of the students and the Admissions Office staff. The Director, Grace Hershman, and Dr. Callahan, the Dean, were both so very down to earth and available. Students seem normal and not overly impressed with themselves like you see at other schools.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
