What are your general comments?

My interview experience at PITT was wonderful. Although there were about 50 applicants, there were many first- and third-year students with which I could interact while eating brunch and touring the facilities. The interview itself was not difficult by any means. My interviewer was an oral pathologist from the south with the most amazing accent. It felt more as if I was having a conversation with a new and interesting person, not being interviewed. I definitely stressed too much, but this is most likely because it was my first interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
