What are your general comments?

"its a super long day - from 7:30-7:30 - so get some serious rest. the phd interviews vary with what faculty you get, but the studnt interview was awesome and the faculty ones were really good too. the md interviews are cake in comparison - one studnet and a faculty. my student interviewer super friendly, so was my faculty one but i couldn't read them. they seemed like the perpetually encouraging type to whatever riff raff they would be interviewing ;-) so i'm sure. nevertheless i loved the school and was really impressed. texas wasn't nearly bad as i imagined either."
