What are your general comments?

"Overall, a very chill interview day and everyone including my interviewers were friendly and helpful. You can check out a lecture if you have time - they're in the mornings (no class on weds). No med students showed up during our scheduled "lunch with med students" which was a bit disappointing. If this happens to you, find a med student or two in your downtime between interviews/talks to chat about what they like or don't like about the school. The students that I did talk to were more than willing to share their experiences. " Report Response
