What are your general comments?
Overall a decent interview day. Very laid-back and welcoming atmosphere. When you arrive you'll go through security and check in then be directed to a small room with maybe 10 other students. An administrator introduces herself and leads the group up to the room where the info session takes place, where there were probably 40-50 students total. There is a group interview with about 6 other students and 2 interviewers, followed by an individual interview with 2 interviewers (may be same as first 2 or different). The group interview was closed-file, wasn't clear if the individual interview was. They'll tell you the individual interview is "optional" but no one skips out on it for obvious reasons. Overall I felt good about the interview day just wasn't super impressed by the school. The 2 students we spoke to didn't seem that enthusiastic but maybe it was an especially stressful time of year.
