What are your general comments?

The interviews and tour were great. There were 2 interviews: the first was with the student representative of the admissions committee and the second was with a faculty member. The first interviewer was very well-versed with my application file and asked some of the best and most appropriate questions I have come across yet in my interview experience. The second interviewer was very friendly and I feel that he helped me to learn a great deal about the school.
