What are your general comments?

This was my second interview after being waitlisted, where the admission committee gave CT residence a second opportunity for an interview. The first interview led to a mis-communication about my past activities in relation to dentistry; mainly because I didn't know they knew so much about me. However, the second interview I prepared well in advance with mock interviews with my dentist (who I had been shadowing), and I was able to explain everything about my application well. Unlike my first interview, I was not at all nervous; mainly because I prepared well for the second time.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
