"In the morning is a tour that lasts about two hours. It's not as intense as it sounds though as you're sitting in the WISER center for part of it. They also let you tour the cadaver lab, which has a small museum in the back. It was amazing. After is a talk about the curriculum, then lunch in the cafeteria. My group was joined by two second years. Following lunch is your student interview. This is supposed to be very easy and laid back, they tell you the students just want to make sure you're the type of person they would like to have in their class. My student mostly read down a list of basic questions (Why medicine? Why Pitt? etc). Sometime in the afternoon you will be scheduled for your faculty interview which hopefully will not be too far away because you are responsible for getting yourself there. Mine was in Magee, about as far as possible and scheduled for immediately after my student interview so we had to cut that one short so I wouldn't be late. Faculty interivew is also very laid back. It's mostly just a conversation. After that, you're scheduled to meet with either the dean or an assistant to discuss your experience that day. They don't really ask anything personal. Whole day was enjoyable and fun." Report Response
