What are your general comments?

The interview was, like everyone says, laid-back. Students actively sought us out to chat before we went in for interviews, and they answered questions with great honesty. The campus was lovely and the facilities were impressive. There are so many opportunities for reasearch and experience there-- my interviewers emphasized that they want to give everyone a taste of everything and don't push students to ''pick something'' the way some schools do. Their internship placement rate was also quite impressive.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
