What are your general comments?

This was by far the best interview experience I have had this school year. The interviewers were very friendly and it was more of an engagement in a conversation, rather than the usual formal style of question - answer - next question - next answer. I felt very at ease and believe that the interviewers were there to see how social you are and how well you communicate, NOT there to analyze answers to different questions they gave.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
