What are your general comments?

It was my first interview so I was pretty nervous but the admissions staff kept telling me not to worry. My interview was more of a conversation rather than rapid fire questioning. We went to lunch w a PBL and SBL student which was very informative and went on a tour. It was a really good day and I'm glad I had such a great first interview experience.
