My interviewers were incredibly open to everything I had to say. I made the interview very conversational (as opposed to Q and A format) and both interviewers seemed to respond well to this. I was prepared and everything just seemed to fall into place.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

None... If you apply to UT you will see why. All email, and the admissions coordinator(s) are great!
