What are your general comments?
I applied to UVM back in July and was invted to interview in February, a pleasant surprise. It was a low-stress day and totally positive. I'm a poor interviewer so I doubt I did well, but I'm glad I got the chance. They seem to put a lot of thought into which interviewer you get. My interviewer did a good job, really knew my file.
