[ b]General Comments:[ /b] My interview sucked, so whoever thinks decision depends on interview, it absolutely does not. Just be yourself, show some initiative in the application process. I e-mailed two professors to ask several questions, one of which talked to an admissions officer on my behalf because they liked my "inquisitive mind." And that took 2 minutes of my life - I think Brown values the "little things in life that mean so much." And this is one of them :-)
