What are your general comments?

Western seems it would be a great school to study medicine, especially with the revamped interior and the influx of new money. As for the interview, the closed-book approach seems a bit off-putting, but there is a good way to deal with it: Put everything on the table with the first question (within reason)and let the interviewers take it from there.
