"All of the interviewees met in the Office of Admissions by 8:00 am. After a short orientation, one of the admissions staff members led a tour of the facilities which included the Winter Institute for Simulation, Education and Research (WISER) facility, the library, lecture rooms, and PBL rooms. We then attended a couple of briefs on the admissions process and the curriculum. Lunch was provided at the UPMC Presby hospital cafeteria, where we were joined by some medical students who answered any questions we had. The afternoon was filled with three interviews. The first was a 45 minute, closed file interview with a second year medical student (MS2). The second was a 45 - 60 minute, closed file (AMCAS personal statement provided) interview with a faculty member. The final interview was a 15 minute, open file interview with one of the assistant deans. For most people, the interview day ended at 3:00 - 3:30 pm. " Report Response
