Nothing too ''interesting''

What was the most difficult question?

I was asked more than just the ''tell me about yourself question.''

What are your general comments?

I had a good experience. I applied last year, and my experience was good then too. I was pretty much just asked to tell them about me. They weren't out to get you by any means. My 2nd interview this year with a student was a little more grilling, but they were questions you should have answers to in the back of your mind ''just in case.'' Nothing stumped me though.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
