What are your general comments?
The interview day was amazing and so much fun. My specific interviewer really just made me feel right at home.
There was an interview with a faculty member and one with a student, but both were extremely relaxed and they just wanted to "get to know" me. The faculty only had access to my personal statement, and the student didn't have access to anything.
