What are your general comments?

"My interview experience at VCOM was absolutely amazing. I interviewed at other schools before VCOM and I can truly say that VCOM was the best in the sense that they are really friendly and make you feel really welcomed. Some of the other schools I interviewed at were so impersonal and made it seem as though all they really cared about was numbers. VCOM placed an emphasis on numbers, but an even emphasis on getting to know you as a person. The school is very technologically advanced and has the best professors in all of the U.S. " Report Response
