What are your general comments?

USC was overall the best interview experience I had (and it was my first)! The current students are there to talk to you before you are called in, also the talk from Jim was very informational and calming. My interviewers weren't intimidating at all (they were super friendly), and wanted to know more about me. Essay wasn't difficult, just a summary.
