What are your general comments?

this interview day was not very high stressed. You start in the morning with about six interviewees, you sit aand chat for a while. The hostess comes in and we all introduce ourselves and talk about where we are fom and general information about the school. we then eat lunch with some of the current students. GREAT FOOD!! We then break up into two groups of three...one group starts interviewing, the other group goes on a tour. The interview style is unique...there are three interviews with three different ppl at three different times...each lasting about 15 mins...we go into the room...the interview is closed file but they do have your personal statement and your secondary answers (no grades or scores)...we chat for 15 mins and we have to stop when the hostess knocks...we wait for a few mins for the interviewer to jot down notes about the interview and then we start again in the next room...it isn' very stressful because you don't have enough time to get nervous. It is hard because in that time, you don't have time to get to know the interviewer and you can't really judge how well you did. However I did enjoy myself very much!
