What are your general comments?

"The school and the people who comprise it are amazing. Nothing could have been done to make the experience more positive. However, my second interviewer did not show up and the interviewer who did attend was very detail-oriented. He asked the most detailed questions and was unsatisfied with my answers, even when his answers were the same as mine just using different words. Overall, it went well I think." Report Response
