What are your general comments?
It was a great experience. My 2 interviews lasted an hour each, and both interviewers were extremely nice. The first interviewer spent 1/2 the time basically selling the school to me, and my second interviewer seemed like he genuinely wanted to get to know me. He also had my application practically memorized before I came in, which was impressive. They each walked me to my next destination, which again was extremely nice.
