What are your general comments?

Though it was a long day it was very informative. The financial aid talk was a bit scary but I'm glad I heard it. I thought having to wait for the afternoon to interview was a nice, it gave me a bit of time to relax after arriving and being a bit intimidated by the other 40 interviewees.
