What are your general comments?

The day started early but there was very little downtime. There were about 20 of us and we all met in the admissions office followed by a very long presentation from the dean of admissions about the school. The two interviews were both low stress and there weren't any ethical or ''fix healthcare'' type questions. Overall, it was a very positive experience.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
