What are your general comments?

My interview took place at the Corvallis campus. There were a few minutes to chat with other perspective students and when everyone was present, the group was divided in two. Half went to have their interviews, while the other half stayed in the room to write the essay. Overall it wasn't nearly as stressful as I thought it would be. The interview felt more like a conversation with a new acquaintance, rather than someone grilling me over my personal statement.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
