What are your general comments?

"I went in there with a stress level of 10 but by the time I met with my interviewer it decreased to 3. I wasn't asked any difficult questions. I was kind of worried going in after reading some of the negative comments that were posted on this site. However, I don't share the same opinion as those who were "negatively impressed" with the neighborhood surrounding the school especially since my undergrad institution is located in a similar area and I want to worked in an underserved community. If accepted I will seriously consider attending." Report Response
