Arrive at 12:45 (very late) and come up with something that is unique about you, then you have interviews -- 2 with faculty/ practicing MD's and 1 with Dr. Kennedy to answer any questions about your application (didn't even say much to me at all). Then they have a tour of the usual areas and a few things they think are nice (PET scan, etc.)
