Nothing really. Parking is validated, but there was "traffic" getting there in the morning.Breakfast and coffee were provided, then the morning interview people met for a brief overview of the school and admissions process. Then 2.5 hours for interviews - we didnt know if we would have one or two interviews. Then lunch and tour and our day was done around 2pm.

I would be nice to know ahead of time if we have on eor two interviews. But thank you for the breakfast and coffee!
