What are your general comments?

"My interview was at 9:30 am. Interviews are given by deans, so they sit right on the board of admisisons and vote on you. They said I would hear in a month; they meet every Friday. The interviewer did not ask anything that wasn't about my application, but he was not easy to talk to. He did not seem impressed with my non-science work and did not care to talk about it, while ALL of my other interviewers at other schools were very interested in it. He warmed up at the end, though, so it wasn't that bad. He liked when I started talking about Temple. He interviewed me for about 15 minutes, but I interviewed him for half an hour. I asked tons of questions to keep the interview going, and that was wehen he became friendlier and more talkative. " Report Response
