What impressed you positively?
Tuition, atmosphere, facilities.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Just how relaxed the interviews are.
What are your general comments?
The interview day is such a low stress activity that it is difficult to self-assess how the day went. I did not have to "conquer" a tough question or admit that I was clueless. Hence when the day ended I had no concrete idea of how I may stand in the minds of the interviewers.
