What are your general comments?

This was my first interview and I'm glad it was at Iowa. The interview questions were straightforward and the school was really nice. They asked me four questions during the interview, they were simple questions. The rest of the time they asked follow-up questions and I had the chance to ask questions I had. Come prepared to ask questions, because even though the interview is only 30 min, they stop early and leave time for your questions.
