What are your general comments?

I arrived on monday night and my host (a 2nd yr) picked me up at the airport and introduced me to some of her friends and roommates. We made dinner and chatted for a while. We went to class at 9am - Hemotology - and then she dropped me off at the admissions room where 24 other "penguins" were sitting in silence. Why don't people have conversations in these situations? Then we had our tour of SLU and a bit of the hospital at 11am. At 12 we had lunch in an auditorium and we had the opportunity to talk to students (who were on the admissions committee) and three physicians (who are also on the committee). I attended a class on Death and Dying with my host and then I returned to the admissions room to wait for the interviewers to come get us at our scheduled interview time. My interview was with Swiercosz (swear-cost) and he was running a bit late. He is the dean of student affairs and very friendly. We went to his office and chatted about my AMCAS application. He took notes while I talked about my application and highlighted the important parts. We talked a lot about my research and about fellowship options and graduating from SLU with a distinction in research. We ended up talking for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Everything went great and I was VERY impressed with the staff and student's friendliness and enthusiasm. Afterward, my host took me out with a group of her friends to sightsee and we went up in the arch and then to the landing for drinks. It was great!
