What are your general comments?

It was a long day. Took 2 hours to drive in from the southwest suburbs of chicago because traffic was crazy. There was a brief introduction and interviews started around 9:00am. There was a lot of just sitting around and waiting. I didn't get to my second interview until 2:00pm. At around 12:00 we had lunch and then a brief tour. It was a laid back day pretty much.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
