"The tour was nice, there is a ripped Jesus on steroids statue in the bell tower area. We got sent to a lounge area and then were pulled out for interviews. One is a 15 minute closed file with a 4th yr med student. The other is a 45 minute open file with a faculty member. Sitting in the lounge and chatting with the 4th yr meds.
