What are your general comments?

"interviewees arrived by 9 am. dr hanau gave a presentation about the school history and curriculum. then we had a student led tour. we were then given our interview assignments and hung out in the conference room until/in betweeen interviews. faculty interview is open file (though my interviewer did it closed file, maybe not to have any preconceived notions) and the student interview is closed file over lunch. 2 students had faculty interviews at the hospital so they missed part of the tour b/c they had to catch the shuttle. the day ended with an optional PIL Q&A around 3:30 pm."
