What are your general comments?
Interviewer greeted me as "Yo dude what's up" and explained the whole admissions process while making sure I knew that he was my advocate; my most relaxing interview out of four so far, very conversational, and wanted to ask me questions that he knew the adcom might ask so that he could refute them. Unfortunately, hadn't read much of my file beforehand, but still asked about the red flags to see if he could help me out.
