What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

It'd be nice if the logo on the glass bottle is the school color. It'd be great if we can meet the dean of the medical school on the interview day. Some MMI questions don't really test how students would respond in real life (such as standing up to the people who have an influence on the students' career - how one acts ideally is different than how one would act realistically).
