What are your general comments?

Overall it was a great experience. It was my first interview so I was extremely nervous, but I really didn't need to be. The interviewer was very cordial, and seemed to be impressed with my application. I highly suggest coming out to SoCal and giving this school a shot. The dean was very friendly, intelligent, and wanted to make sure that we found a school that fit us.
