What are your general comments?
The day was very enjoyable for the most part. The Dean's introduction at the beginning was very informative, as was the financial aid session. Having a small group of interviewees (6) made the process seem more informal. The only real negative was my second interviewer's propensity for asking wild questions based on what I discussed in the interview.
