What are your general comments?
Overall, this is a fantastic program. The Dean of Admissions clearly and repeatedly stated that everyone is capable of succeeding there. The interviewers only have your bio information and essays. There really does seem to be an emphasis on admitting people who'll be good *physicians*. As he said, their looking to admit good future doctors, not outstanding first and second year medical students. Furthermore, there is lots and lots and lots of patient contact. The school does a lot to equip you with the skills necessary to make your clinic time useful instead of merely frightening.
