What are your general comments?
The interview was at a Starbucks about 1 hour from my home. He started off with a 10 minute writing sample and spent most of the time answering my questions about the school. He asked a few questions that he was required to ask by SGU and a few that he wanted to ask to get to know me better. It was very stress-free and an overall good experience.
