What are your general comments?

The morning was filled with various briefings. We then went on a tour of the facilities with our student guides, followed by lunch in the cafeteria ($6 provided by the school via a meal ticket). Interviews were scheduled for the afternoon. Allow for the possibility of having a 3:45 pm interview. A lot of the faculty had open door policies during the afternoon, which provided applicants with the opportunity to ask questions about life at the school or military medicine, etc.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
