What are your general comments?

Thie was my first medical school interview, so I was very nervous. The interviewers really did try and put me at ease and feel more relaxed, and it was evident that they were just trying to get to know me as a person so see if I fit with their philosophy. The time during the interview for me went by so fast. You really don't feel like you are sitting there talking for 30+ minutes when it is all over with.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
