What are your general comments?
For me, one of the interviewers had read my file and the other one did not. Also, the school revolves around Problem based learning which means most of your learning is done on your own. Not a problem for me, I think, as I find lectures very boring. But be aware that the interview day at the school is really about whether or not problem based learning is for you.
