Read over my primary.

What impressed you positively?

I thought the students truly loved their school and I could see that in the tour guides and the other students walking around. Strong diversity. Enthusiastic and passionate faculty.

What impressed you negatively?

I felt a little underwhelmed. I could see all the things about the school as noted above, but I knew all of that going in from speaking with friends at PCOM. I guess I was looking for something to jump out and grab me and that just didn't happen.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

I thought I had a nice interview. The questions were direct and I felt I answered them well. I thought the school is very proud of itself and rightfully so. I got a good feeling on campus and truly felt like the rumours about the school being a ''family'' were true.
