What are your general comments?

The only negative thing that I can say is that I have not heard from Drew (rejection, acceptance, or wait-list) since my interview in March and it is now June. It has been nearly 3 months. I don't think that it is a positive reflection of a medical school program when they do not bother to let applicants know where they stand. After spending hundreds of dollars traveling to LA, renting a car, and getting a hotel, I think that I deserve some sort of correspondence from the school. At this point, I would not go to the school if I did get in because the non-existent communication from the school might be indicative of other problems at the school. It is upsetting because the school has a lot to offer, but I was turned off by administrative weaknesses and the disrespect for applicants by not keeping us posted and inviting us to interviews at the last minute. I found out 4 days before my interview that I needed to be in LA. Many of my co-interviewers had the same problem.
