What are your general comments?

"The day was good, despite a few tough questions and a headache. Most the stress is self-imposed. I met alot of people and recognized many. The school (faculty and students) that turned out to see us were friendly and outgoing to help us in anyway. No one ever routed against us. Sadly, though, everyone was told at the begining of the day most of us would be DEFEERED; the reason: most of the class had been choosen but many more people had yet to be interviewed, so in effect this translates into, 'we like you but we need to look at everyone else first.' That was the biggest downer. Overall I felt good with the interview and the school seemed impressively with it." Report Response
