What are your general comments?

Overall, it was like everyone says: very laid back. I was suppose to interview with one faculty, but then they pushed me onto someone else (so I don't know how much time my interviewer had time to review my file). My student interview was closed-file; that was where I was asked ethical questions, which they said they did in order to see how we think under pressure.
