Nicest Deans ever. I also interviewed with a great bunch of people. Definitely one of the least awkward interview days I've had. If the interview pool on my day is representative of the admitted students, it will be a great class.

How to take the CTA from the airport (wasted $$)
What are your general comments?
Three interviews: 1 admissions, 1 faculty and 1 student. Very nice interviews, very applicant-focused. I didn't get grilled or anything like that but I was asked to give very detailed accounts of some of my experiences. The Deans could not be nicer.
