What are your general comments?

There were two interviewers, both very friendly. The interviews lasted about an hour each, and were semi-blind (Interviewers are given your application essays and biographic information, but not your grades or MCAT). The dean came and spoke with us after our interviews and was very clear and to-the-point on what happens with our file after the interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
