What are your general comments?

"The day begins early, at 7:30 or so in the news admissions building, which is pretty nice. All applicants are shown to a reception area/waiting room where they can hang out, read about the school, and even browse a database of the faculty interviewers. The interviews are in the morning and the afternoon, depending on your schedule, and the interviewers come to get you. I had one faculty interviewer, and one medical student interviewer. Mid-day, medical students take you on a tour, and have lunch with you to answer any questions you have. Day ends pretty early, and overall is very laid back. " Report Response
