What are your general comments?

Got there at 9:15am and was picked up by an admissions person at 10am and taken to a conference room where we had an overview of UVM, a couple more staff/faculty members stopped by to welcome us, which was nice. Then we had the financial aid talk followed by one of the deans who came to speak to us about UVM. Next, we had lunch/tour with the med students and then were dropped off to get picked up by our interviewers. While waiting several med students dropped by to comment, answer questions, and wish us luck.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Please get better name tags!! It was a bit annoying to have the tag curling up and eventually fallin
