What are your general comments?
The director of admissions is a great speaker, and explained everything very clearly and with humor. Some of the interviews were off-campus, as much as 20 minutes away by car, so that was a pain. Lunch was excellent. I enjoyed the student tour of the campus and the later tour of Children's & Women's Hospital.
