I emailed by FFR and haven't gotten a response from him. Am I supposed to get a response and what do they mean by "contact your FFR"? Thank you very much.

Basically just email him or call - if no response by email, I suggest a call at an appropriate time. Are you c/o 2020 and need the interview? If so, not having the interview won't count against you.

I'm in the class of 2021. What am I supposed to say to him? Thank you for the reply.
 
Introduce yourself, explain your desires, and then ask for their experiences and advice. He will probably ask you about test scores, extracurriculars, leadership, etc. to help you prepare your application.

Advice, not advise.
 
Also, don't be surprised if he doesn't get back to you very quickly. They often are working with candidates for this year, which take priority - especially with deadlines looming. Additionally, I got in touch with my FFR in March of last year, he basically said "Great, talk to me again when you're done with 50% of your application so I know you're serious."
