What are your general comments?

I had about a little over a week from the time I turned in my secondary to my interview date so I don't think I prepared enough...The 3 on 1 format is intimidating even though the interviewers were trying to be nice, the EXCOM member asked some probing questions to see what I knew and how I could handle difficult situations...It was easily the most difficult interview I had.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
