What are your general comments?

I would suggest going there a day early to look around. The informational sessions are good, and its helpful that you have a student panel to answer any of your questions. I was freaking out about the interviews, but they aren't bad (I guess it depends on who you got). It's mostly questions relevant to your experience, so that they know you didn't make it all up. Just answer truthfully, and you'll do fine! I got a call the next day telling me I got in!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
