What are your general comments?
Dean Hansen introduced us to the school and the Double Helix Curriculum. We went through a folder of information with someone in the Admissions Office and then we had downtime to wander the school, talk with other applicants, peruse the folder of information, or study before our first interview. We met back for lunch and a tour with students/admissions secretary and then had some more time before a final afternoon interview. Overall a positive experience!
