What are your general comments?
Very professional and very friendly. Make sure you eat lunch quickly, just after the interviewers (student and faculty) enter the conference room, they start taking interviewees out one by one.
Be yourself, but come prepared with pen and pad, and solid questions. Many applicants showed up without a pad and appeared very unprofessional, in addition to being poorly dressed- overall indication of bad composure. Figure out how to tie a tie and tuck your shirt in before the morning of the interview! Above all, throughout your entire interview experience remember: interviewers are more concerned with how you carry yourself then the actual content of your answers.
