What are your general comments?

My experience at Davis was extremely positive. I went into the interview with Davis as my top choice and left with Davis still as first choice. I really like the Pass/No Pass grading and the efforts the school makes to unite the classes. While I heard the new curriculum is more difficult, I was also told it will help students better prepare for the board exams. My faculty interviewer was laid back and didn’t really ask many questions besides “tell me about yourself” and “what else do you want me to tell the admissions committee about you, that isn’t in your app?” My student interviewer was awesome and I hope to be in his college if I get into Davis =) The questions were pretty standard, no hard balls.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
