Met at 7:45 and went from there. Interviews were from 8:45-9:45 so they were done early, which was nice. It was a very long day though, by the end I was dragging and just wanted to go home. Got done at about 2:45pm.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Make interview day shorter!!
