What are your general comments?
I really liked Davis - had a good atmosphere. I wish more students were around so that I could get a feel for the student body. They seem very open to having families in med school. Davis seems like a great place to go to med school and the early clinical experiences are impressive. Luckily my interview was in the morning so I left after lunch. The other interviewees had interviews after lunch. The interview was long - over an hour.
