What are your general comments?
Overall, the interview was good, maybe even great compared to other interviews, if the questions are compared. There was one half hour session with a student which was actually a little more stressfull than a second half hour session with a faculty member. The choice of faculty member did not appear to be random. The questions asked did not seem evaluative. The student just wanted to see consistency with my personal statement and the faculty member just spoke about my interests and wanted to make sure I knew everything there was to know about the school. From my experience, I believe the interview is probably not a big factor in determining who to keep and who to drop because it was simply more of an information session with little or no evaluation.
