What are your general comments?
The intyerviews were set in an stress free environment. The interview day consists of 2formal interviews with members of the MSTP commitee and at least 3 informal interviews with faculty who are doing research in the student's area of interst. The formal interviews were 45-60 minutes in length and were given in the Committee member's office, right next to their labs. Yet despite being "formal" interviews they were quite layback and took shape as a conversation rather than just Q & A. The informal interviews were 30 minutes each but they are meant for the student to get an idea of what kind of research takes place at the school. The interviewer's in the informal do not give evaluations nor are they members of the admissions committee so one has the oppurtunity to relax and not be on their toes. All I would recomend is to know your research really well as questions on specifics do come up.
