What are your general comments?

Both interviews were with faculty, and both were relaxed. The first person had clearly poured over my app, and asked me questions about it in a relaxed way. The other was more focused on selling the school and answering any questions I had about it. I had the feeling that he hadn't read my app as carefully, but the balance worked out fine I think. In any case neither one asked me to justify my app in any way, they seemed to just want to get to know me better.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
