What are your general comments?
The location of the school isn't too great, but as for the school itself, I got a positive impression. I had numerous first years tell me that the atmosphere is very non-competitive; they help one another willingly. I liked the diversity of the class. Because you give your interviewer your file right before the interview, he doesn't know much about you. Hence, he asked me basic questions i.e. tell me about your extracurriculars, what do you you for fun, research, etc. There were no ethical questions and we basically had a nice conversation.
