What are your general comments?

My student interview was fantastic; he gave me about 10 minutes of questions and then said that he had a good sense of who I was and that I would be a good fit at the school. I got to ask him questions, it was very relaxed. My faculty interviewer was very formal, took lots of notes. I strongly recommend going to the social event that the school sponsors at a local bar, I talked with M1-M4s for several hours.
