What are your general comments?

We had bagels and OJ provided by the Class of 2008 while everybody arrived. There were 9 of us that day. We then wrote the essay and had a financial aid presentation. Then we had out 1-on-1 interview with the faculty followed by an "interview" with a student (but it was more like a lunch talk). Then we went over our pre-reqs to make sure they were all done or will be done by next fall. Then we had the lab coat fitting followed by a tour of the school, labs, and clinic.
