What are your general comments?

"This has been my favorite interview experience of 4 that I have done. Though the day was long, it was also very fun and the people were friendly and welcoming. Robyn and Denise are awesome and Dr. Gessner does a good job of easing the tension with jokes. Rumor has it that the committee is obsessed with grades and scores, but the interview does a good job of making this seem untrue." Report Response
