They tried very hard to make make it a good day for all of us and did everything possible to make us comfortable. Also they have 4 medical centers in the area that students rotate throught, a very diverse patient base.
What impressed you negatively?
It was ugly, but that is really not a big deal. :) Also, there were only maybe 4 or 5 medical students that we saw all day long...I would have liked to have had the opportunity to talk with a larger group of them.

Nothing.
What are your general comments?
They give you breakfast, and then talk, then we went on a tour of the Shriner's Hospital (given by one of the doctors there). After that we all had our two interviews and then went to lunch. We went on a tour of the college facilities (given by a student) and then got more talks and went home. :)
