What are your general comments?
I left UNE-COP with heartfelt gratitude because in my previous experiences interviewing at other schools, the committee weren't as responsive nor warm in reception to applicants. With this kind of experience it made me proud to be offered a chance to be part of the inaugural class of 2013 at UNE-COP.
