What are your general comments?

We had a morning meeting with the associate dean of admissions, who was really enthusiastic about the school and about us as applicants. Then, we took a tour of the campus and had lunch with two fourth-years. After lunch, we went back for the interviews and finished up with a financial aide meeting...which i fell asleep in (even though the speaker gave us candy)
