What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Make the application online-only, and more up-to-date with the process for other medical schools. Don't be so picky about who you want letters of recomendation from. I submitted one from a Neuroscience professor, and a Psychology professor I did research with, and they informed me that neither of them counted as a "core science" faculty member, so I would need to get a new letter before they'd process my application- so I had to scramble last minute to get one from my Biochem professor
