What are your general comments?

"I really liked my second interviewer, a PhD; we talked about my research a lot. There wasn't one big tour -- an admissions counselor showed us the hospital, neighborhood, and gym, while a student showed the lecture halls and labs. The main tour was at the end of the day, an hour after my last interview, so we were all tired. The fact that it was a rainy day didn't help, though the Metro stop is right by the entrance."
