What are your general comments?

"First half involved the intro from Dean of Admissions, Financial aid and student-led tour. Students were very enthusiastic and friendly--we also had lunch with a few (should have been more). Two 30-minute interviews. One was with an MD and one was with a 4th-year med student. The interviews were so conversational that I felt I had to really make an effort to "toot my own horn" so to speak, since the questions did not elicit the most colorful answers as to be expected from my experiences."
