What are your general comments?

My interview was the first thing on the agenda and lasted for 80 minutes. We could have attended a class but both first and second years were taking exams that day. We sat around for an hour and attended a seminar by the dean of admissions, financial aid office, and the dean of students who came in for Q&A. We were then greeted by our two awesome tour guides who took us around on a tour and then to lucnh at Fairview. Overall the day was great.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
