What are your general comments?

"Luckily, I had interviews at 9 and 10 AM, which meant I was done after the tour (by 2 PM). Once I found them, the interviews went quickly--plus my first interviewer walked me to my second. Back at the admissions office, we had a financial aid mini-presentation, followed by a talk by Dr. Foxwell--incredibly chill and funny! Lunch with students and a tour to finish up the day. All in all, pretty painless." Report Response
