What are your general comments?

The two interviewers seemed kind of soft spoken... I felt like I was talking over them. They asked pretty specific questions from the application, but I felt like I was being very vague in return. But they were very nice, kind and respectful people. The students were also very nice, they seemed kind of inhibited at first. But at lunch they became more talkative.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
