What are your general comments?

"Overall the interview experience was very laid back. I had afternoon interviews. The day started at 10:45am with a rather lengthy talk/introduction with the director of admissions, then we watched an 8 minute video made by the Class of 2004 showing scenes of the school. Next we received detailed directions to our interview sites, then had lunch at Marigold's (nice student cafeteria!), and went on a short tour, and then I had my two consecutive interviews, both lasted about 40 minutes. Both interviewers were very nice and I think they made an effort to make it a relaxed interview. The day ended around 4:30pm." Report Response
