What are your general comments?

The whole day was really laid back, I had afternoon interviews so I showed up around 10:30. The admissions people are really friendly and the presentations were grouped together in the same room as the lunch with med students so it went pretty smoothly. The tour was cool and we got to go inside the famous shock/trauma unit. My first interview was with a doctor in his office and the second was with a second year student.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
