What are your general comments?

The interview style was difficult and not my preferred way, although it taught me a lot about how others interview and how they formulate their answers. I thought that the director of admissions was so kind and pleasant and really seemed to feel passionate about his job and the school community. Overall, the school impressed me very much.
