What are your general comments?
Had to write a 15 minute essay answering one of two questions.
There was a greyhound in the waiting room which really helped to calm me down before I went in.
My interview was supposed to be about 30 minutes but ran to about 35 minutes. The interview itself was more like a long, guided conversation. The interviewers were sincerely interested in me, asking me questions that I know they hadn't planned to ask me. They weren't afraid to laugh and seemed to actually enjoy the interview. Of all the interviews I had gone to, WSU was the only one that I felt I had shown the interviewers who I really am.
