What are your general comments?

It seemed that one of my interviewers knew the info in my file and questioned me from that. The other one was reading off a list of questions. My travel expenses would have been $1K if I didn't have airline and hotel points. I also found out about my interview later than others it seems. I only had a week to plan after I booked my interview time. My travel time would have only been 4.5 hours each way if I would not have had huge airport delays (9 hours). So don't wait until the last minute to arrive!!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

More time to plan for travel. Scheduling page open later or on weekends.
