What are your general comments?
I thought this interview would be a lot more tense and intimidating than the other schools that I interviewed at because it is much more highly ranked, but it wasn't too bad. My faculty interviewer was really interesting and fun to talk to, my student interviewer a little less so.
I'm still waiting for acceptance/rejection news though- so who knows.
