What are your general comments?

I was first taken to the student lounge where I met other applicants. We then had lunch with current students. After lunch we went to listen to a professor talk about the school (actually interesting). Following this, we were taken to our interviews and then went back to the student lounge to meet all the admissions committee. Then we talked about financial aid and took a tour with a 2nd year student.
