What are your general comments?

Arrived early to have breakfast at the Amish Kitchen (on the lower level of TRMC and a good chance to see the primary clinical site and have a great breakfast). The morning Welcome sesion involved getting to meet many current students. They were having a didactic test in a classroom near the boardroom so we had many drop ins. The exact itinerary is available in some of the other posts. The lunch they provided was fantastic and was punctuated with a suprise visit by the president of the school. The interviewers were one faculty physician and one faculty PhD. Mine included a pediatrician and and an anatomist. The only stress was self induced. They went out of their way to make me comfortable and the interview was actually a little reassuring. They seemed to be looking for traits that I think I posess. The student ambassadors were great. One was traditional with a rather dynamic personality. The other was non-traditional and a great source of insight for the whole med school experience from a non-traditional viewpoint. Overall all the experience made me even more comfortable with my decision to apply only to OSU.
