What are your general comments?

"it was an informative day, not too stressful. interviews were conversational. started w/"tell me about yourself" and went from there. they're really big on that 3rd year research year, so be prepared for that. do NOT apply if you're not interested in research. the students seemed alright, a little high-schooly, but i only met a couple of them. i think i met like 3 students over 24 the entire day, and only one M1 over 24.
