What are your general comments?

My first interviewer asked my lots of tough but interesting questions. All personal stuff, such "if i overheard your friends at a coffee shop talking about you, what would they be saying?" questions that made you think about yourself...it was my most interesting interview by far. the second interviewer just talked about my file. both were very friendly. overall, i really liked cornell, and would probably choose it over other NYC schools if i were lucky enough to get into multiple places.
