"Even though the facilities are up to the task, the school has been catching criticism for focusing too much on the move to the new Fitzimmons Center; students will start there beginning in 2005.

What are your general comments?

"Not too stressful; interviewers didn't try any dirty tricks. Interviewers had not seen our file outside of the personal statement and bio info; they presented their findings, and others looked just at numbers and recommendations. Interesting approach. This means that you're free to wow the interviewers with the intangibles of why you want to be a physician. They did say, "is there anything I should know?" and it was emphasized that weaknesses in numbers, if they existed, should be covered, so be ready to explain any problems. " Report Response
