What are your general comments?

It was pretty good. I always freak out prior to these experiences, but staff was friendly and welcoming. One student who lead the tour was a little hardcore and told interviewers he had a tough ethical question in interview...kinda set a scary tone for a little while. The pediatrician I interviewed with was so nice, and only asked me one question about a bad grade I had had that I kinda struggled explaining.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
