What are your general comments?

the day starts with a very short presentation by the director of admissions, and then a 4th year student came in and quickly summarized the curriculum and waited for questions, but there weren't any, then there was a financial aid presentation. i had my interview with a pediatrician, and then went over to the children's hospital on my own with free time. we went as a group to meet the tour guides in their lecture building, wen't on a tour, and then ate lunch.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
