What are your general comments?

"Great experience! It was so refreshing to be treated like a human being during the interview! No drilling or stress type interview. Very conversational and friendly. Just be yourself while remaining professional and you'll be fine. Although many may be tempted to go to schools which are older and have been established for a longer period of time, I think it is important to keep in mind that a new school can be a better match. Furthermore, this school has a serious future, has been proving itself and I'm sure will continue to do so. I am choosing to attend this school over more prestigious ones because it fits me. It's important to go where you feel you belong. I am very thrilled to be starting there in August 2007!" Report Response
