What are your general comments?

"Arrived at VCOM at 8:30 AM. Provided water and an informational presentation. The first interview was with Dr. Prater. She was great and seemed to be finding out who I was and how the school matched my goals and needs. The second interview was with Dr. Wyeth. He seemed to be the only interviewer that asked really difficult questions. He was a really nice guy though. The final interview was with Dr. Kerger. He was very laid back and listed the benefits of all the schools I had applied. He was interested in me finding the best match. After interviews we took a tour of the school and then took lunch back to the informational room where we ate with two students. Afterwards, we went on a tour of Blacksburg to learn about VT and housing opportunities. Finally, we received a presentation from the registrar office and financial aid. Overall, the interview day was long but helpful and exciting." Report Response
