Their curriculum which fosters an independent pursuit of the material.

Their lack of recording classes at all.

Nothing really.

Really really nice school. Very expensive though, but I believe they are worth it. Their interviewing style is VERY laid back...I wouldn't get worried about it at all. It's literally just a conversation.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

They could have started later on in the day. Out of the other 5 interviews I have had, none started at 8 am (instead at 10 or 11 am), giving us more than enough time to get a good nights sleep in unfamiliar beds.
