What are your general comments?

The interview experience was great overall. I really liked the way the interview day was fairly short-we ended ~1:00pm. All of the interviews were early-the latest was at 10:30am. So, when we got the tour and had lunch with students, we were all relieved and really able to take in the tour. Very laid back-the group of ppl who were interviewed were easy to talk to and seemed like they were good ppl.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
