What are your general comments?

"The day started with the Dean of Admissions (I think thats who she was) telling us that if we had any stress interviews to tell her and we would be given a new interview and that interviewer wouldn't be used any more. The students and faculty were very nice, as was the medical school building and the view of Syracuse University. It would be pretty hard to turn down, especially because you receive in-state tuition after your first year ($28,000 down to $14,000) wich makes it VERY affordable compared to a lot of private schools."
