What are your general comments?

The faculty interviewer asked a few tough questions that I didn't really know how to answer, but she was friendly and gave good clarification and feedback on questions. The student interview was extremely relaxed. There were a few structured questions, one on ethics, but the rest were direct questions related to my personal experiences. It was like "shooting the breeze" with a friend for an hour.
