What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I should have known that the day would not be stressful from other comments that I read. It's hard not to get stressed out a little though.

What are your general comments?

The day started at 8:30AM with the dean of admissions. After discussing the school with us for a bried period financial aid came in to give us the bad news. After that we were shown around the facilities by second-year students and taken to our first interviews. Some of us had back-to-back interviews at 10 and 11 while others had interviews at 10 and 2. We had lunch with fourth year students at the hospital and returned for interviews after a short tour of the hospital.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
