First off the interviewers made a few jokes and said "We know it's an interview but we don't want you to be nervous." They seemed to have a good grasp of my ECs and essays. Definitely a give-and-take type interview - I didn't feel like I was just talking at them.

Nothing - I really did like it!

That they were going to serve delicious looking cookies in the interview waiting room - maybe I could have mentally prepared myself so I wasn't too nervous to eat one.
