"NJ turnpike!!! TOLLS! SO BRING SOME MONEY! THANK GOD I LEFT WITH $40." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"It was a great interview. I talked with Dr. Terregino for what felt like an hour (probably was) and then was introduced to Mrs. Oglesby who is the counselor/recruiter for the school. Even the staff was wonderful. Catherine Porter is a hoot. Overall I had a great time, felt right at home, and I hope that I receive an invite into the class of 2005! I can't really outline specific questions because most of the questions were tailored around understanding my unique and complicated academic journey." Report Response
