What are your general comments?

my first interview was about 1.5 hours and he asked me sooo many unexpected questions about my culture and history type questions about my country (which I left when I was 2). He also asked me how I felt about current political situations and presidents about my country, which the most i ever hear about is from my parents talking... and then he pulled out newspaper clippings out of his pocket and read me bit of it and asked me how I felt about the situation and what I would do. geez. but i really liked my second interviewer and the interview was much shorter too.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
