What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
Will echo what others have said: be more present during the interview day. It felt like we were just handed off from one person to another, and lots of time where we were by ourselves in between sessions. Waiting for later interview slots kind of sucked. Would've loved a session that talked about the curriculum and academic resources...I loved the patient simulation, but I think it was weird that we didn't get an overview of the curriculum. The introduction session essentially just felt like it was them talking about the accomplishments of the school (which is great) but I just feel like I don't know much more about the school or why I should go here.
