Unfortunately there is no clinical exposure until the third year.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

What a nice town Charlottesville is.

What are your general comments?

The interviews were conversational. I was interviewed by a med student and a retired physician. Both had read my file extensively-I was really impressed. Both were very friendly and made me feel completely comfortable. No need to worry at all!
