What are your general comments?
Waited in a room with 16 other applicants. We were called in individually by one of three interviewers. Pretty much everybody recounted the questions asked during their interview to the rest of the group. When I went tin for my interview, direct questions were not asked for the most part, the interviewer mainly asked me to expand on the things that were in my file. The interviewer also spent time telling me about the demands of the school. After the interview a boxed lunch was served and we all went on a tour led by students. Finally, we met with the guy in charge of admissions to check that our files were complete. Interview lasted from 9 - 3.
