What are your general comments?

"Flew to Spokane, spent the weekend with relatives in Idaho, returned to Spokane for the interview, got there early, so I was asked to complete my essay before my interview which sort of caught me off-guard. I was given a bottle of water (nice gesture) :) Then I was interviewed by 2 faculty members from a list of scripted questions. I was scored as I spoke which was sort of strange. Afterwards, they asked me if I had any questions for them and then told me that it wouldn't be considered in my scoring, which also seemed kind of strange. I received my acceptance on 4/12 and the letter was dated 4/9." Report Response
