What are your general comments?

Don't stress yourself when you go to this interview, prepare properly and just be yourself. They really are just trying to see if you "fit". The interview itself isn't highly stressful and the process is really organized. Obed was extremely extremely helpful in getting everyone to open up and talk before our interviews in order to kind of prepare us.. so take advantage of that. All in all, a great school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Nothing at all, they are VERY organized and extremely friendly!
