What are your general comments?
The day was really long. It begins with a presentation about the school which is very informative. The tour showed us the school and the dorms which are both old and crowded. My interviewer was a very, very old man who at the time, I didnt think could hear me, and was difficult to interact with, but I got in, so he must've heard ok!
