Maybe this has already been discussed, sorry if it has. What do people think of the panel interview (multiple interviewees in the same interview like at Northwestern) versus the individual interview (like at most schools)?
 
Actually, Northwestern wasn't bad at all... the panel interviewers made a real effort to make sure we felt comfortable. It was definitely cool to hear what other people have to say in interview situations (although there are bound to be a couple "hey, i was going to say that!" moments). I was a little more nervous, 'cause you don't really get the same rhythm you get from a one-on-one, but after a few questions, I started feeling pretty comfortable. Something to keep in mind is that you actually have less time to talk about yourself and no real follow-up questions, so make sure you're getting everything across that you want to.
