The academic building seemed a bit drab. The main teaching hospital for the New Brunswick clinical campus is 10-15 mins away from the school, and there is often heavy traffic.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

My interview was open file, but I wasn't asked any questions about anything in my file.

It was a pretty laid back day. There was a video about the school, a question and answer session with a dean of admissions, a student led tour, lunch and a short financial aid presentation. I had my interview after lunch, but some people had interviews in the morning.
