What are your general comments?

"We started the day by meeting the other applicants and talking. We then had a short conversation with Dr. Yarborough before he had to catch a plane. The admissions people had a Q and A after that. Then we took a short tour that was given by a student and got to ask a bunch of questions of him. After that we had a great lunch with current D2 students who had nothing but great things to say. I then had a student interview for a half hour. The student and I just talked and he clarified some of my questions. After that I had an interview with a faculty member. He knew my file really well and asked a couple tough but fair questions. Mostly he wanted to get to know me, but he did drop a couple unexpected questions on me. FInally we had a wrap up Q and A with a faculty member and a financial aids and loans lecture. Overall...it was a really good day." Report Response
