What are your general comments?
Good preparation for future interviews. Couldn't have been much worse. Though I was very prepared the environment was not conducive to a good interview. Too many people...too little time. Should have screened the applications better and narrowed it down a lot more for the benefit of all involved.

Felt like cattle being herded. Approx. 40 other applicants there that day. Took a critical tkg exam (1 hr)followed by a 30 min essay writing followed by interview and then tour. The agenda did not allow for a break or an opportunity to compose after the exam and the writing assmt.Interviewed by faculty member and first year student. Both were dead serious and seemed really unhappy and probably as harried as I felt.
