What are your general comments?

We began in the morning with a brief presentation on the school, focusing on the new curriculum. We then had lunch with students, a tour of the campus and then interviews. I had a chance to explore the campus after the tour and before the interview which was nice. My interview was pretty laid back- we mostly talked about my research experience and volunteer experience- what I had learned from these.
