What are your general comments?

Well, I was more stressed about the group interview so I kinda ignored preparing for the individual interview. I basically stuttered through my individual interview which totally sucked. The group interview, I thought, was going to be very stressful but was very relaxing. My answers weren't as brilliant as those of others but I had my moments so it was ok.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
