I had a wonderful experience. It was my first interview and I was a little nervous, but it turned out great. The interviewer seemed really interested in who I am and I had a wonderful time talking to him. He was honest about his feelings at the school, too, which impressed me a lot. I could tell that the whole city is proud of the school, and so was my interviewer. People were great and friendly.
