What are your general comments?

overall, the day was not as stressfull as i was expecting, whenever we had downtime there were always lots of people to chat with so the day flew by... my first interview was with a dr, and the second with a 2nd year med student... both were pretty relaxed and i left with a very positive feeling about the school... since then i've received notice that i'm wait listed, so i'm hoping to eventually receive acceptance
