What are your general comments?
We only recieved our interview time when we arrived at the school at 7AM. Even though, you have to wait around for your interview, there were things you can do such as sitting one of the freshman classes, attending a presentation on finacial aid and attending problem-based learning class. The interviewers were very nice. There is banquet on the evening of the interview day. I strongly encourage you to attend that. It is very informational.
