What are your general comments?

"Really nice interview day. Starts at 10AM which is nice. Also, be prepared: the first 2 hours, you spend siting in the board room while different people talk (dean and director of admissions, dean of diversity affairs, financial aid, students). It was interesting and entertaining at times but it is a long time. Afterwards there is a 1/2 hour student interview--very relaxed, we just went and sat outside and chatted. It does count as a part of your interview but they are really just trying to get to know you and decide if they could picture you as one of your classmates. Lunch was great except that the fire alarm went off and we had to evacuate. Afterwards, we were broken into groups for a tour. Then faculty interviews (I think most were 30 minutes b/c each interviewer conducted two). Then wrap-up/cookie break/chance to talk to the dean/network." Report Response
