What are your general comments?

The interview format is first group and then individual. The interviewer had four of us read a case written in English. We then had 20 minutes to discuss the case in Spanish and were given questions (in English) to help guide our discussion. Then each of us delivered a 3 minute synopsis of what the group had discussed with regard to the guide questions provided. After this first part, we were called in separately for the one on one, closed file personal interview, which lasted about half an hour. It mostly consisted of my questions about the school, curriculum, and research programs.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
