What are your general comments?

"I got to the building early. They gave us background on the school and curriculum, focusing on the two tracks offered (IFM and PIL), then gave us a tour by the lovely secretary who was enjoyable. Some of us had to leave to catch the shuttle to center city for the faculty interview (luckily mine was on the main campus) and then we waited for a student to come by and have another closed file lunch interview. The day could have ended there but a few of us stuck around to here what PIL students have to say about their curriculum. A good interview experience overall." Report Response
