What are your general comments?
Loved it. Loved the school, actually enjoyed my interview. There were no off the wall questions, nothing that really stumped me. I was surprised they didnt bring up my grades or my GPA or anything like that. There were a few questions about various experiences, and a few strictly behavioral questions. Only current events question was regarding horse slaughter, although a few other topics just came up in the course of the conversations.

That the "economy" rental cars don't have cruise control, which is horrible when driving from KCI to Manhattan!
