What are your general comments?

My student interview took place over lunch so I didn't ge to eat much and was so worried about lettuce being in my teeth :/ I also waited over 2 hours for my next interview which was not cool. They don't have formal interview days so you don't get much of a tour and no info on financial aid or when they expect to make a decision about you. Other than that, the school seems really wonderful..I hope I get in!
