What are your general comments?

They looked at my packet and highlighted areas that I felt were important that other schools looked over. I appreciated that the interview was more of a conversation than a question-and-answer session. Even if I don't receive an invite (OOS school for me), I really enjoyed my time there.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

It would have been very helpful if in the interview offer they mentioned how long the tour was going to be. That way students could have planned better when to arrive at the school for the interview and tour.
