What are your general comments?
Met with a dozen other interview candidates at 8 am. We had different speakers come to talk about different aspects of the school. I learned that in the 3rd and 4th year, you can go to different parts of the country to do some of your rotations, which is cool. Also, they did a demonstration of OMM which I never saw before. They provided lunch where students would join us and talk about their experience at the school. My interview was in the afternoon. During the entire day, everyone tells you not to be nervous for the interview. Since this was my first interview, I did get nervous. I would totally recommend staying with a student. They are really helpful. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience.
