What are your general comments?

I had a couple of interviews with lunch and a tour in between. The first one lasted about an hour. The second one was about a half an hour. The interviewers had access to my AMCAS and secondary applications but not my grades or MCAT score. The admissions office gave me some more information and had me update my application and fill out some forms when I had free time. Everyone was very accommodating.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
