What are your general comments?
The day started off with my interview. The interviews are with members of the faculty whose offices are located all over the building. The interview was conversational. The first half he asked me about my application, activities, grades etc. The second half he asked ethical and situational questions and wanted to hear what plays into my decision etc. Afterwards there was a presentation and lunch followed by a tour with students.
