What are your general comments?

Overall, the experience was VERY relaxed...more so than I thought it would be. There were 3 interviews total. One was a group interview with about 8 applicants and 2 interviewers (students). Another was a one-on-one with a student. Final interview was a one-on-one with a faculty member. There is also an essay session which was pretty easy. Overall, the facilities are great and the program is top notch. Very impressed with how welcoming the faculty and students were. Definitely nothing to be worried about.
