What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Be much more enthusiastic when giving a tour! Every other place is selling their medical school hard and are highly energetic. You're doing your institution a disservice when you are yawning and monotone the entire time and responding to questions with a bare minimum answer. I will say that my interviewers and students I met were much more helpful
