What are your general comments?
It was a wonderful experience and exceeded my expectations. They format the interview day very well, forcing you to break the ice at the start so you get to know everyone immediately. I couldn't tell how "open file" the interview was, my interviewer had my secondary in front of him, but didn't ask any specific questions about my past, so who knows...Schedule: Meet with Dean Sanford, laid-back interviews, lunch, tour, mock PBL session, then exit interviews with Dean Sanford as well...great experience, great school.
