What are your general comments?
Both interviews were with faculty, and both were relaxed. The first person had clearly poured over my app, and asked me questions about it in a relaxed way. The other was more focused on selling the school and answering any questions I had about it. I had the feeling that he hadn't read my app as carefully, but the balance worked out fine I think. In any case neither one asked me to justify my app in any way, they seemed to just want to get to know me better.
