What are your general comments?

Showed up at 7:30 am for a continental breakfast, followed by an orientation, followed by the two interviews (in any order): a 20 min individual one with an admissions officer to update your profile and a 1 h 15 min group one (3-4 students, 2 faculty, 1 M4) were you wered asked some individual questions and one question during which you were asked to collaborate with your group to solve a problem. Then we had lunch, a tour of the school, a long meeting about their curriculum, and at 3 it was done and we went home.
