Nothing other than cost of living.

I did not realize that so much of the medical school class was made up of seven-year med students in the honors progra.

What are your general comments?

The one on one interview was great, the interviewer was friendly and allowed me to ask questions after letting me update her on my application. The panel was easy, there was no competitive nature to it because we wern't given the same questions other than "tell me about yourself."
