What are your general comments?
The interview with a student was not very fun for me, he and I just didn't jive well, I loved research, and he "didn't really like science" I felt very awkward talking to him as I felt we were polar opposites. The interview with the biochem professor went really well, he asked me questions from intro biology and chemistry (see below)
