What are your general comments?

overall i enjoyed my interview experience here. as you can see, my interviewers asked me pretty varied and complicated questions. luckily i had thought about most questions they asked me since i had seen them on this and other sites, but the questions were difficult nonetheless. this was by far the most 'interesting' interview experience i had (my one interviewer guaranteed me that i would 'never have another interviewer like him'), although at times i thought the questions were ridiculous (e.g., what is intelligence?). but i figure if you interview at enough schools, you'll have an experience like this, so i would suggest thinking about all of these questions.
