What are your general comments?
Overall great experience. The fact that one of my interviewers kept looking at the clock during the 2nd interview was a little unsettling for me. I kept dwelling for weeks! Although, my first interview went really well and my last question to him was "Do you think there are weaknesses in my application that I should address in the case that I don't get accepted this time around?" He gave me some good advice for the second part of the interview.

How did you prepare for the interview?
I didn't prep for the interview as much as I should have. I was afraid my answers would sound too rehearsed, but it would have been good to go through some of the general questions and have a general idea of how to answer. In previous years, I've had verbal discussions with friends who applied about these questions so I had an idea of how I would answer some of the questions.
