4 out of 10

What are your general comments?
I really liked the school's curriculum and people, for ex. the diversity of students. The school is very human: the Admissions Office called me on 10/20 (the day the Admissions Committee met) to tell me that I'd been accepted. (I don't know what - if any - other schools do that.) The academic calendar has "exam block" weeks (similar to finals periods in college) so you can focus on studying and taking tests.
