The day went pretty much as outlined.

What are your general comments?

I had a morning interview. We arrived, signed out, and waited in a conference room. We were served a continental breakfast. The dean came in to talk to us, followed by a medical student panel. We were then called out to go to our interviews, one faculty and one student, both of which were very laid back and conversational. The final portion was a tour of the hospital. The experience far surpassed my expectations.
