What are your general comments?
My interview experience was outstanding. Even though I'm from the North I felt right at home, in large part due to the cordiality of the students and the personable nature of the faculty and staff at the school. My interview was pretty rigid in structure as far as questions and allotted time to answer, but I didn't feel as if I was being tested. More of a controlled conversational tone.
