What are your general comments?

"The interview day started at 8:00am and the last interviews were completed before 2:45. A series of ~35 minute meetings before lunch answered every question our group (15 of us) could think of, and plenty more that we couldn't. A great lunch was provided, during which many current students gave us their perspective on the school and Des Moines in general. 45 minute tour after lunch. Lastly, layed-back interview. It was made clear (repeatedly) that we were all there because we had already cleared any academic hurdles, that they were interviewing us to try and acsertain how well we would fit into the school, and that they very much wanted us to be able to relax during the interview so they could get to know us.
