What are your general comments?

two interviews- first with a faculty member, admissions committee member... those last about 45 min. then you attend a lecture, tour, eat lunch, do a lot of waiting in between, and have a 4th year student interview you... which is awkward depending on your interviewer... some are very friendly and others are way too shy and not very easy to talk to...
