What are your general comments?

At 9:00am there was a powerpoint presentation by the dean. She was very nice and informative. Then at about 10:00 we were given a tour of the facilities. Of the 15 interviewees, myself and two others had to take a shuttle to the hospital for our interviews. The interviewer was really nice and laid back. When I got back I waited around for a bit and talked to other interviewees until the student interviewer came to bring me to lunch. The student interview is really casual and nothing to worry about. We pretty much just ate lunch together. I asked him to see the gross anatomy lab, and it was cool to see. I really liked pretty much everything about the school.
