What are your general comments?

"This was very positive. The first year students came to lunch with us and gave the tour right after a particularly nasty exam, so they weren't on top of their game. The interviewers were both very nice and casual - no Good Cop/Bad Cop. They had standardized questions that were ''suggested'' but didn't use all of them, even used their own in order to get to know me." Report Response
