"I really had a great time. It was my first interview and a bit nervous. The interviewer was great. She made me feel very comfortable, and literally we just had a conversation. But she tried too hard to sell the school to me. But that was a good sign since that must mean she wants me to come! The tour was great! (see above about handling a cadaver!) the guides were extremely friendly and cool. Overall, a very stress-free, low-key day and a great experience!" Report Response
