What are your general comments?
Experience was good. Interviewed with a 4th year student for 30 minutes (very laid back, relaxed, just chatting) then with a faculty for 30 minutes (a bit more serious but still not bad). My interviewer asked few tough questions (mentioned above), but i think it was overall pretty good. school is great, students are great, facility isn't bad at all. food was GOOD :)
