What are your general comments?

I'm in the BMS program so I knew the school pretty well before hand. The day was really laid back and I enjoyed both interviews. The interviewers are really laid back and friendly. I was finished with both of my interviews by noon, and the time spent waiting in between the interviews was spent just hanging out with the other applicants and 1st and 2nd years who stopped by.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
