What impressed you positively?

The curriculum, which encourages research in a wide range of fields, and allows you to conduct research over a 2 yr period so u can really focus on one area or try out a whole lot of things.It is a wonderful school, and the faculty and students take such awesome pride in everything that they are.

What are your general comments?

My interviewer must have learned to effectively hide all form of emotion, because I couldn't tell if I was doing well or not. He did brighten up a li'l bit when I asked about his work as a psychiatrist tho.
