What are your general comments?
The admissions office staff were all warm and helpful. The interviewer impressed me as he had thoughtful questions for me without my file being present; I could tell he had reviewed my information ahead of time. Additionally, the interviewer listened attentively and did not take notes as I spoke- he was sincere, calm, and pleasant. I also like the fact that in addition to the interviewer asking questions, he gave his opinions and answers as well which made the process very much a conversation.
