What are your general comments?

This interview was very conversational. All of the questions asked were about stuff I had written in my personal statement or in my secondary. I think they were trying really hard to put the applicants at ease and relieve some of the pressures with interviewing. The day consisted of: orientation with the dean, financial aid, lunch with med. students, tour, and then 2 30 min. interviews.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
