"Interview experience was typical experience: financial aid presentation, tour, lunch, interview. Interview was short and sweet, and very direct. It probably amounted to what some people would deem a stress interview, but my interviewer didn't bother me. Oh, and if North Philly bothers you, you scare too easily. West Philly is worse.
