What are your general comments?

The day was a little too laidback w/o very much structure. If you interview during the week, the groups are small - mine was 4 total. And you have a lot of down time to just wander. 2 one-on-one interviews lasting 50 min or more. Lunch/tour with some M1s or M2s. And then you're done.
