I felt pretty prepared, so I don't think anything surprised me when I went in.

What are your general comments?

We took a tour of the school after the interview portion, which was great, because it was really hot outside and of course I was wearing a suit. They also gave us food while we were waiting to be interviewed and afterwards. The building that classes are in is very nice, and the students were all very friendly and open about talking to us.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

None! I felt that everyone involved was incredibly friendly, open, and helpful.
