What are your general comments?

The whole experience was awesome! I met with seven or eight other candidates in a board room and we were given information about financial aid, curriculum, housing, etc. We went on a tour and then had lunch. Since I knew that we were going to be pulled out one by one during lunch, I had a small sandwich. The interview was given by a 4th year student and it was really laid back. I ended up asking my interviewer more questions about the school--overall it was conversational. Afterwards, we went back to the board room and listened to some more specifics about the school.
