What are your general comments?

"The day is all about you. You don't move in a large group as I have in some other interviews. I had both interviews in the morning, then lunch with the tour guides and another applicant and then met with the dean to discuss what happened next. I stayed with a host and then shadowed them in one of their small groups, which was fantastic. There is a very tight community feel and everyone I met was very warm and welcoming. Many students came over to me and introduced themselves and asked me about myself. Overall, I was very impressed with both the students and the school." Report Response
