What are your general comments?

"The day started at 8:30 in the conference room at the Best Western. We introduced ourselves and Dr. Haight joined us soon after. Dr. Haight was incredible! He really cares about the students and does everything he can to make them feel comfortable and alleviate anxiety about the interview. There were ten of us and the panel interviews were started at 12:00. Were we divided into two groups of six and four. I prefer the one on one style but the panel wasn't as bad as I thought. The interviewers know your file very well as they have it for a week before you get there! It was definitely nonconfrontational. The interviews ended at 1:00, we had lunch they provided, and the hotel shuttle returned to pick us up. Overall a good day. " Report Response
