What are your general comments?

my particular room was missing one of the interviewers and the interviewers that were there were not receptive. I was not having a conversation with them, but rather them asking me a question, me answering, and then long pauses before moving onto the next question. Other students that were in different groups said that it was laidback and conversational. It must just depend on your interviewers!
