What are your general comments?

I think UAB gives low stress interviews, as compared to other interviews I have had including work and med school. They give a good synopsis of what kind of students the school is looking for and what the school can offer for the student. I do wish that they would structure the tour a little better, but I know its hard for the medical students to find time to tour students every week.
