What are your general comments?

"The Vanderbilt Interview Experience was really really really relaxed. For this being my first interview, I was happy that this atmosphere qualmed my fears. Vandy is a great school where the students are extremely satisfied and the administration does everything it can to fix complaints. The only thing to be aware of is that the curriculum is totally traditional, meaning there's none of the that problem-based learning or everything. You better hope the kids you are interviewing with that day are cool, because you're going to spend a crapload of time with them. Otherwise, don't fret about the interview, they really just want to get to know you." Report Response
