What are your general comments?

We had breakfast with one of the vice-deans. He was extremly friendly and funny. He gave us pointers on what questions they might ask on the interview. It was a pleasure talking to him. The interview itself was very negative. The director of admission was rude and unfriendly and that curbed my enthusiasm. The doctor that was with her was extremly nice. The students who came to answer the questions were very friendly. The school itself is awesome.
