What are your general comments?

"Overall, I liked the school a lot and would go there over some of the private schools I applied to, but I felt like the staff didn't work to sell it like other schools had (BU and Upstate). The students sent in to give us a tour and answer our questions were friendly but had nothing in particular to talk to us about. The unstructured nature of it meant there were holes in my knowledge when I left. Someone should give a presentation laying out the basics. The assistant director of admissions said the school "sells itself". My interviewer was a great guy who took genuine interest in me, knew my application as well as I did (he quoted from my AMCAS essay twice!), and gave me a chance to get many aspects of myself across. He was heavy into the ethical stuff, but that's ok by me. We covered a lot of ground in an hour." Report Response
