What are your general comments?

"The first interview was conversational, the second was a bit more confrontational. Overall, I think they balanced each other out. There was nothing on ethics, just questions that were aimed to make you talk about yourself. The director of admissions gave us the opportunity at the end to make sure our files were complete, which helped me because I got to give him an answer for something that the interviewers may not have been able to convey. The school itself seems to be undergoing a lot of renovations. The campus is fairly small, but the facilities are adequate. The students seem to have made the decision to attend for reasons other than "I didn't get in anywhere else"." Report Response
