What are your general comments?

This was a great interview experience that lasted about 4 hours total. I was interviewed by one science faculty and one 2nd year med student also on the admissions committee, both had a calming effect and asked good questions. After the 2 interviews there is a social session with the rest of the committee which was also nice and gives you the chance to introduce yourself to many different members before they go make their decision.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
