What are your general comments?
It was a long day but very well-organized. I feel as though we were treated very well (breakfast and lunch!) and the interviews were very laid back. Some of the previous remarks on SDN mentioned that interviewers have a list of questions that they are supposed to ask. Although this is true, neither of my interviewers were actually writing during the interview. It seemed to flow very nicely, and the interviewers actually seemed like they were trying to sell the school to us since they spoke at length about the programs and curriculum.
