What are your general comments?

When we applicants arrived, we were given short talks about how the admissions committee works and financial aid. Then we ate lunch with a few of the students there. After lunch, we sat around for quite some time while waiting for our 2 interviews (One was 1-on-1, open file; the other was 2-on-1, semi-open). The waiting made the day seem rather drawn-out, but conversation killed time pretty well.
