What are your general comments?
A really great school that I would be happy to go to. Definitely one of my top choices. However, when you go for your interviews, watch out. Panel interviewing is WAY different than one-on-one, and I didn't expect it to be as difficult and unconversational as it was. Overall a great experience though.
