Well-organized, efficient, informative. We had the chance to meet with current students, other applicants, and professors. We were fed food and given small gifts. I enjoyed the process. There was a personal interview, and a group interview. We also were able to speak to a student panel privately so to get all our pressing questions answered.
Interview process is standard PT interview process with group interviews in front of a faulty member and current student. Be prepared with copies of resumes and for questions that make you think outside the box.
