What are your general comments?

The entire process was very relaxed, the on campus interview doc was very friendly, told me what he thought of how I interviewed. The free lunch was nice, but I wasn't very hungry b/c I had an afternoon interview. After lunch they gave a tour, talked about their admissions process and the interviews followed.
