What are your general comments?
My day started in the morning w/ 2 interviews right away. There was another student who was doing the same. After our interviews, 3 other students joined us and we all had a round-table discussion w/ the dean of student affairs who asked us questions about ourselves as well. Then we went on a tour guided by an MS-1 and an MS-2 and ate lunch w/ them. After that, while the 3 students that joined us later interviewed, I had a quick one-on-one info session w/ the financial aid lady. They make you wait around a bit when you are finished to make sure your interviewers have turned in their review sheets of you and that the scores they gave you don't differ too much (if they do, you get a third interview).
