What are your general comments?

My experience at the interview was great. Food and drinks were provided in the interview area. I was nervous at first because of the high stakes of the day and didnt talk much until the interview. After the 15 minutes of chatting with a D.O. and a PhD, I was much more comfortable and the day was a lot less stressful. We finished all four interviews in an hour then went and sat in on a PCS class where they were discussing some interesting topics! (genital exams) We toured the facilities, talked with a student and then wrapped up.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
