For girls who are planning on wearing heels to their interview, it's a good idea to bring flats to change into before the tour, as it involves a lot of walking.

What are your general comments?

Traffic coming from south NJ was HORRIBLE...good thing I left really early. I arrived at the admissions office and was sent to the children's hospital for my interview with a pediatrician. Then I waited in the admissions waiting area until the info session and financial aid presentation. Four students gave us a tour and ate lunch with us (we were given $8 vouchers to use).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
