What are your general comments?

i opted for the afternoon interviews so we met at 10:30 in a conference room and received our packets from lenoa. after all of the morning interviewees came back to the room, the deans asked everyone to intro themselves with an interesting fact. they then give a short intro to the school and financial aid, then you're split into groups for the tour led by a student. lunch is provided afterwards (taco salad) and those with afternoon interviews go off to find them. my faculty interview was interesting because at the end he showed me exactly what she was putting down for me and emailed it off to the adcom in front of me! student interviewer was extremely nice and comfortable to talk with.
