What impressed you positively?
The dinner beforehand, the facilities the school has
What impressed you negatively?
It was stressed how much the interview would be a "conversation" but my interviewers were not particularly friendly and kind of awkward themselves. They were not super responsive when I would attempt to make a conversation.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I wish I would have known it was a closed interview. And then once I did know (shortly before my interview) I thought my interviewers would ask more about my application but they really didn't, which made me feel like I should have talked about myself more.
What are your general comments?
Be prepared to have to force a conversation if you get people who are not particularly talkative/friendly.
