What are your general comments?

"It seemed she just printed out my ECs and took notes on the back. She asked one question each about community service, research, leadership, and my hobbies. That was it, and it couldn't have taken more than 30 minutes, and she didn't ask for more detail during my explanations. I was a little discouraged, until I got to ask her questions. Then she became really engaging, and we probably spent 45 minutes as I interviewed her. That was a huge plus, because I think my interview went a lot better as a result. She apparently likes answering questions more than asking them." Report Response
