There was a fire outside during the interview, but that is not the school's fault =P

What are your general comments?

Make sure you eat ahead of time, lunch is not provided and you don't want to interview on an empty stomach! Also, don't bring your support crew to the interview. I saw someone who didn't know and had her parents following her around all day. It looked out of place.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Snacks would be nice.
