What are your general comments?

Great interview day and great school. They really go out of their way to "sell you the school" which I really appreciate. You also have the opportunity to do rounds (I did not do this), have an extra information session the day before, and the actual interview day. The students made themselves very available to answer questions.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Everything went great - I really liked the multiple opportunities given for learning more about the school and interacting with students.
