What are your general comments?

Like everyone else said, the interview was conducted in a very casual way. I had a professor and a 3rd year student interview me. Even though it was open-file, I felt like they didn't really ask me specific questions from my file (they only asked about one EC activity that i listed).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
