What are your general comments?
Before I went to visit, I really wasn't thinking of Iowa as an option, but now it's in my top 2. The facilities are great, there are lots of research options, people are friendly, and the town is cool.
The actual interview though was kind of lame. It's completely standardized. My interviewer just read questions to me which I was supposed to answer in less than a minute. He never responded to my answers, just went on to the next question. He seemed bored, which doesn't surprise me since they have been asking the same questions since HE applied to the school. I don't think I did very well, but there is no way of knowing. It's hard to tell what they were looking for. My interviewer seemed disinterested before the interview even started, so I don't know if it was me or that's just the way he is.
