What are your general comments?

So take a seat in the admissions office with other appicants(4) and then you are handed a folder with info about the school. You then meet informally with a student and ask them questions, not really an interview from my experience. Then you meet with one or two faculty members for a personal interview. There might be some waiting around so bring something to read. You get fitted for srubs while others are interviewing. There is a short tour followed by a financial overview and you are done!
