"I enjoyed my interview. The city is a plus. I don't know how well the rotations are though in 3rd and 4th year. They say that they are good. Still finding out. The interview was laid back, I know everyone says this, but trust me! They want to know you more as a person. You would not be interviewing there if they didn't think you were a good fit already for their school. Good luck!" Report Response
