It wasn't as stressful as I thought that it would be.

What are your general comments?

Two interviews, each one with a different faculty member. In my personal statement, I talked about my experience in the OMS field, and one of my interviewers was the chair and chief of the OMS department. He quizzed me on a few things to see if I was genuine, and then we spoke openly about the field.
