What are your general comments?
The campus is very attractive. I was a little nervous going in and with the first interviewer but I gathered my composure later on. The three interviewers asked questions directly from my application so be prepared to answer questions from your AACOMAS.
Overall, I enjoyed my trip down to NOVA and it would be great to gain admission here.
