What are your general comments?

"My interview was scheduled at 11 so I showed up around 10am. There is a breakfast (fruit and juice) at 8:15 but it's optional. I got called back for my interview 30 min early but it ended up lasting an hour. After that I got a chance to sit in an OMM lecture, then went on a tour at 12. They really did just want to learn more about me and if I would be a good fit for the school. I love this school right now and would be more than happy to attend." Report Response
