What are your general comments?

"They have a pass fail honors system and it seems as if many student don't show up to class since most of the classes are recorded or videotaped and you can download them on your ipod. They did a good job of finding out about you as a person and not trying to make you feel nervous. The interviews were very relaxed and they really tried to promote their school. It was great that the tour guides took us to all of our interviews throughout the different building so we didn't get lost. All they have is your personal statement and two of your secondary essays so they don't know anything else about you. The M3 student I interviewed with was very laid back and seemed to be very much on my side. They review their interviews on the third Thur of each month and we are supposed to hear back by the end of the month w/ an acceptance, rejection, or waitlist. Good luck everyone, it's really not as stressful as we all imagine!" Report Response
