What are your general comments?

I killed the interview. In fact my interviewer emailed me and let me know that I had a very strong interviewer. My second interviewer hadn't looked over my file at all prior to meeting with me and it was a huge waste of time. Nice person, but for him to be defending me in front of the comittee left me feeling a bit dissapointed. I had taken my time to interview, I think it is their responsibility to be prepared.

Not a whole lot to tell you the truth.

People there were not nearly as genuinely nice as other places I had interviewed and overall seemed disinterested in selling us on the school. They seemed very full of themselves and the interview day was very unorganized.
