By answering these as best as possible (and at what schools). Thanks!

1. How long did your interview last?
2. How many questions were you asked?
3. What was the most difficult question from the bunch?
4. AM or PM? Would you have preferred it the other way?
5. What else went on besides the interview? Tour? Speaker?
6. Who interviewed you? Professor or a student?

Also, what are good questions to ask about a school? Curriculum, student life, what to do around the area, financial aid?

Yes, I'm anticipating an interview very soon. 🙂
Thanks for all replies.
 
You might want to take a look at the interview feedback section of SDN. It answers the majority of your questions.
 
At the top of the screen, under the big "sdn" there's a gray bar that says "articles - communities - forums - databases..."

Hover over databases, and look under interview feedback.

It used to be on SDN's front page, and it arguably used to be easier to find.
