What are your general comments?

It was an interesting interview experince. I didn't know what to expect because it was my first interview. But, you get a tour of the building, and then they give you an information session during which time they pull you out for the interviews. It was nerve-wrecking waiting for your name to get called. But you can read the article they give you and find a way to summurize it and tie it into something relevant in your life or have some sort of an opinion on it. The interviewers tried to be neutral but I felt rushed through my interview. While I was answering questions, the interveiwers would basically tell me that they had heard enough and needed to move onto the next question. After the interview, they give you lunch (which was horrible) and you get ot talk to students about their gripes and likes of the school. Most of the students I talk to, seems like they were just trying to get through it. No one seems friendly in the hallways either.
