What are your general comments?

Like any other applicant, I was a little nervous at the beginning for this was my first interview. However, after seeing the other applicants put me at ease because I wasn't the only one that was nervous. The faculty was really nice and very helpful. Granted, they were a little disorganized, it is understandable since we were the first group of applicants for interview. Overall, I had a great experience. My interviewers were really nice and did not intimidate me. They even offered me (us) cookies and juice during the actual interview. This was my first interview, so I don't have anything to compare it to but I had a great experience.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
