the weight room was really small

nothing really

What are your general comments?

There are three separate interviews. Two one hour ones with faculty and one 20-30 minute session with an admissions representative. I really got a great sense the administration school really wanting the students to do well and succeed. The students around campus were really busy studying for test on Monday. I came from St. Louis so I did not have to fly a bunch of flights.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

nothing really the day went very smoothly
