everything-the students and staff seemed very supportive and friendly; the committment to the patient; the facilities

I'm from the east coast, so Iowa itself was a little scary-flat and brown- although Iowa City is not too bad

I was well prepared, so nothing.
What are your general comments?
Got there, had an intro session with the 15 other interviewees, financial aid session, interview, lunch, discussion with student life/curriculum dean, tour with student; you are given 4 questions beforehand, but they asked me 5, and only 2 were ones that I had prepared answers to; one of my interviewers was a surgeon who got paged and left before my interview, so the dean of admissions took his place
