What are your general comments?

Both my interviewers were incredibly friendly and interesting people that were excited to meet me and talk about the school. Both interviews were conversations with a few stock questions but mostly get to know you stuff and reflection on my motivations and understanding of medicine. Lunch is hosted by several med students, make sure you show up, one girl didn't and I think it may have hurt her application. The interviewers really liked to talk about the curriculum so definately have some insightful questions ready. Great place to go to school, the students here actually have a life and get a terrific education.
