What are your general comments?

Aside from the interviews themselves, everything was quite impressive. The students seem great, the curriculum is awesome, etc. However the interviews (my first) were probably the toughest I've had. Neither interviewer was abrasive or anything, but Int#1 was quite stand-offish. Difficult to tell how he was reacting to what I was saying. Int#2 was a student, and much more open/encouraging. Still posed some hard questions, however.
