Nothing at all.

What are your general comments?

The 2 interviews were open file, and each interviewer (a committee member and a 4th year student) had already throughly read through my application beforehand. So they really just asked me to elaborate more on the interesting aspects of my application. Other than that, just the typical questions, in a very conversational manner.
