What are your general comments?

It has a great investment in its students for primary care and boasts an innovative curriculum but really they try to make up for the sub-par quality of their students, at least the ones that I met. All one of them talked about was how she liked to party all the time and complained about how hard it is to wake up at 8AM. It gave me a really bad impression of the school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
