What are your general comments?

The hotel Lombardy was expensive 179/night, but was beautiful and three block away from the school. The entire day was well run with ample time to speak with students and deans in an informal setting. The tour of the new GW hospital, and 6th floor CLASS center was impressive. The laboratory lecture hall was newly renovated with computer work stations (Mircoscopes have been removed from the curriculum). Both interviews were held after lunch, both interviewers were extremely friendly.
