The two faculty interviewers did a wonderful job of making me feel comfortable. The structured part of the interview was a bit awkward, but only because the interviewers could not verbally respond or ask follow-up questions. Nevertheless, I felt the time went by very quickly, as they had wonderful senses of humor and seemed truly interested in getting to know me.
