What are your general comments?
i had 3 interviews instead of the usual 2 because i asked to meet with a colleague of someone i know. interviews were very chill, everyone was really helpful and friendly. had lunch and tour with 2nd years, who seemed happy to be there. everyone i talked to was very positive about the school, only major complaint was the weather in rochester.
