What are your general comments?
The interviewer worked to make sure this was a conversation, not an interrogation. He started with a summary of the application process and gave me his card, so I could contact him if waitlisted. He offered to tell me where I stood on the waitlist (which the admissions office won't do!) Overall, it was great.
