"How awesome the WISER center is." Report Response
"The day was rainy, which made it a little gloomy, but the day was fine overall. Began with a tour of the school: by far the best part was the WISER center that teaches all sorts of clinical skills/procedures. The anatomy lab is a little dark and smelly, and the classes/halls are a little old/rustic. After this, nice lunch with a couple students. They seemed to enjoy their time at the school, but weren't very enthusiastic, so it was a little hard to read. Interviews followed. The first one was with a student (relaxed and conversational), and the other with faculty (who was very confrontational, and I think was trying to break fluster me; I was able to keep my cool, and by the end, he was easygoing). Just remember to never get flustered by interviewers (not just at this school, everywhere). Towards the end of the interview we were conversational, but I think he was trying to stress me the first half to see if I could hack it. All in all, the school is pretty nice, but I wasn't struck by lots of people who loved the school. Everyone seemed to be happy with their choice, but not blown away. Still, good school, nice facilities." Report Response
