What are your general comments?

We arrived and conveined in a conference room where we introduced ourselves to each other. We had a presentation the Drexel's history as a medical school, the current curriculum, financial stuff, etc. We had a tour given by a first year. My faculty interview was on site (some were downtown) and early (some where later), so I had my faculty interview and then my interview with a student over lunch. Some people did things in the reverse order depending on the time of the faculty interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
