What are your general comments?

~13 interviewees. Consists of a writing sample (10 min exactly), traditional interview (25-30 min), case scenario (5-10min) Sample was ok. They specifically check for your writing skills and not really what the topic is (they said it directly). Traditional interview was one-on-one against 3 people (2 profs, 1 4th year for me). Asked many questions, but were pretty friendly. Case scenario was interesting and not stressful. Dr. Brown did most of the talking. He is a very nice guy.
