What are your general comments?

"Overall, it was relaxed. About 10 people where there for interviews that day. Day started with a discussion of the school and admissions process, then we had the tour and then the interviews. There's both a student interview and a faculty interview. Student pretty much tries to figure out if you'd be comfortable at OSU, and the faculty interview is the much harder one. As soon as your interview is over, they make their decision, so make a positive impression on your interview as much as possible." Report Response
