What are your general comments?

"Overall, it was a great day. Brian (the admissions coordinator) really did a good job of acqainting all of us with the school, with each other, and with him. Speaking to random students throughout the tour was a good way to hear about the current students' impressions of the school. Students seem to be really prepared to practice on their own when they graduate. The group interview was pretty different, but it did take a lot of the pressure off." Report Response
