What are your general comments?

"I arrived at 7:30am, was offered breakfast and given my agenda. My first interview was a 8am with a family practice physician. She was really easy to talk to. Afterward, I strolled around the school until 930am when I went to orientation. At orientation, osteopathic medicine is explained as well as the different opportunities that are available in it. After this, a presentation was given on Financial Aid. Then there was a Q&A, after which we were taken to lunch at the Botanical Gardens by the two student tour guides. The three students were all in their second year and gave us every opportunity to ask about our interviewers and ask about the school. After lunch, we went back and toured the campus- Gross Lab, Research Building, Education Building, Simulation Labs. There is an AWESOME view of downtown Fort Worth from the sixth floor of the Ed. building. After the tour, we were left alone to walk around or whatever until our last interview. At 2pm, I had my second interview with an Ear, Nose, and Throat. He was totally cool. We had a great discussion about having The Business of Practicing Medicine taught at med schools.
