What impressed you positively?

I loved the campus, tons of people everywhere and it seems you would really get to know many people

What impressed you negatively?

I hated the group PBL, in the real class situation it would be different, but when people are all talking out and writing things on the board, the only way to get any attention to yourself is by interupting and talking over other people. There is no one on one interaction, no one comes up to you and introduces themselves or says anything to you directly

What are your general comments?

there seems to be no real reason to attend the interview other than to learn about the PBL and financial aid. I really don't see how they pick their applicants, I came home very dissappointed
