"I knew my interview was at 1:30 but didn't realize that it would be the first interview after lunch. There wasn't much time for eating lunch or the tour of campus." Report Response
"I appreciated the organized nature of the entire visit. This was my first interview so I do not have much to base my impressions on. I did overhear another student talk about how he was grateful that the interview and visit were not drawn out over the entire day. He had said that other schools were as organized and were quite repetitive with the information they shared during the visit. Overall, I thought it was pretty painless, and nothing to get overly worked up about." Report Response
