What are your general comments?

I had one interview with a dean of admissions. She was running late and made me wait for 20 minutes in the lobby, which made me late for my next interview with a student. The dean seemed very unenthusiastic about the interview. The student interview was a great experience. The student was incredibly friendly and it was a pleasure to speak with him. He asked me basic questions to learn more about me.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
