What are your general comments?
I was really nervous for the first few minutes. It was my first interview and I had four interviewers. From the beginning they let me know that they were not there to intimidate me but to extract good things about me that they could foward to the admissions committee. At the end they asked if there were any questions and I talked with them a little bit.
