What are your general comments?

The interviewer spent more time talking than I did. He was so welcoming and cheerful that it almost seemed that I was already pre-selected for this school and that they really wanted me to come. I guess it's because Miami accepts a huge percentage of the people that they interview. It was a very positive and self-esteem building experience because I felt so welcome there.
