What are your general comments?

"The Dean of Students and Director of Admissions both came in and gave a speech about how great Jefferson is and about the school's history. Then each of the interviewees was paired off with a student for a closed-file interview, which was pretty laid-back. Next, they divided us into groups of 5 or 6 and sent us on a tour of the school with a student. After the tour, I had my faculty interview, which was really laid-back. I spoke with my interviewer for almost an hour and she seemed really interested in getting to know about me. Finally, there was an optional postinterview wrap-up, where we met in a room with cookies and drinks and got to talk with more students." Report Response
