What are your general comments?

I arrived for my interview in the morning, but my interviewer was running quite late. I ended up having to reschedule for the afternoon, so i sat around until the tour was given. Then we had lunch, chatted some more amongst ourselves, had a talk with the associate dean of admissions and then went to our individual interviews.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
