What are your general comments?

The interview was very relaxed. Mostly conversational. The addmissions department is very friendly and helpful. You watch a movie, write a 10 minute essay, and have a 45 minute interview (either 1 on 1 or 2 on 1). There is a lot of downtime where you just sit and chat with actual students and other interviewees. The students say that they don't have any say in your addmissions so you can ask them anything. You get buffalo wings for lunch which was pretty sweet. Bring a jacket b/c buffalo is cold.
