What are your general comments?

I arrived at 8:30, had breakfast, chit-chat a little bit with the other interviewees. Each of us had our own folder to tell which group we would be in. I was in the second group, so we did the orientation first while the students in group 1 had their interviews. During the orientation, the Dean talked about the school, the financial aid, etc..etc...just trying to sell the school to us. Then after she was done, Vickie Keene, the director of admissions, passed out a questionnaire and an essay for us to write. It was easy. Then after we were done, Vickie sat down with us, one-on-one, and went over to files to see what was still missing. After that was lunch. I had to wait until 2:00 for my interview. So I just basically sat there and chit-chatting with the current students. They seemed very supportive of the school and very nice. When I walked in, they told me that they will introduce themselves and then I have to introduce myself to them. Then they have 4 questions that they ask everybody there on that day.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
