My second interview only lasted 15 mins and the guy didn't seem to really care. But I still got into the GPPA program so it's all good.

How ugly the undergrad school looks.

What are your general comments?

Considering that this was for the GPPA program, the interviewers may have been a little easier on us than traditional students. Overall, I was impressed with the first interview and disappointed with the second one. But it all worked out in the end.
