What are your general comments?

"The interviews were close to on time, the interviewers were very nice, as were all of the admissions staff.

After the interviews were over at noon we went on a tour and spoke to the student tour guide and a member of admissions. They help you to get NJ residency to save $10,000 on tuition from $33,000 to $23,000, very nice of them I think. It was around 2PM that we finished, and no luch was provided." Report Response
