What are your general comments?

"Absolutely great! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The students seemed really happy to be enrolled there. The interview is completely relaxed and low-stress. But don't kick back either, make sure to impress...I think a few of my other applicants relaxed a little too much and made a negative impression. Also, their admission department seems to be closely knit, so be nice and sociable to EVERYONE...I'm pretty sure their feedback matters" Report Response
