What are your general comments?
The interview was informal. I interviewed with two separate individuals; each interview was 35 minutes or so. Neither really asked me any questions - they were more interested in giving me a chance to find out about Penn State. It was clear that both had read my file though, because they had me describe some of the experiences mentioned therein.
