What are your general comments?

Eat before because breakfast is not great. Interviews are the last part of the day so try to keep your energy up. I had one interview last 30 min. And the other 1 hour. Many interviewees had 2 30 min ones, it just depends I guess. Some interviewers grill you on healthcare issues and some ethics so be prepared for them just in case you wind up with one of those.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

-better breakfast -move interviews up earlier- would make the day more relaxing!
