What are your general comments?

"Very relaxed. Be sure to go the night before to meet with the current students; you will find out so much about the school and nothing you say or do there will be considered in admission decisions. Very, very helpful and it will help calm your nerves before the "big day". Also, interviewers will be given access to everything on your file EXCEPT GPA and DAT scores. " Report Response
