What are your general comments?
I'm passionate about this school - hopefully everyone else who's going is, too. It's true what they say about needing a specific kind of student for this program. The learner-centeredness of this program is going to require this kind of a person and the students are what's going to make the program take off (not to say that faculty and staff aren't top notch because they are). Go here if you're on-board with everything on interview day. Don't if you're not. You'll likely be unhappy and those around you, too.
