2 out of 10

What are your general comments?

day is scheduled from 11-5: includes an orientation, then lunch, then 2 interviews and 2 tours. Some interviewers read everything and some only look at your personal statement. One of my interviews was 40 min and the other was only 20, but they both were really nice and laid-back. Oh, and Robyn Shepard is the nicest lady ever.
