What are your general comments?

"NOTE: All of the feedback previously listed a weakness where they did not have a student as tour guide. In fact, they have changed on this one and brought a student in as tour guide this year! She was a very nice young lady. What a great interview! A school that tries to make you comfortable. Everyone around me were friendly. Some MS1 said hi to us and ask how we did. Both of my interviews were conducted in a very relaxed atmosphere and I feel I did very well. Additionally, most of other interviewee were pretty sharp people and most of them had good experience just like I did. I said there are three interviews because the adminstrative interview for me was quite long and it was conducted by a MD. There were questions asked that I feel weren't purely just administrative but rather, I feel that she was trying to get to know me as well. Prewriting response is a bad idea because the interviews are very conversational. Additionally, do not assume they will grant you a faculty interviewer with the specality you have asked for."
