that PBL is the best way to prepare yourself to be a physician!

What are your general comments?

Arrived at 8:30 to interview with a group of 8. The had your standard breakfast, were introduced to staff and physicians, watched a video on the school, and heard about the curriculum, financial aid, housing, etc. They really covered everything you needed to know and were very attentive. Interviewed at 9:30 with one MD and a DO. It went great and I received an acceptance letter yesterday! It was really relaxed and they were very amicable, in fact everyone seemded extremely happy! Had lunch afterwards and spoke with their very own realtor who looks for your housing needs so you need not worry about that. the day finished at 1:30, with a tour of facilities which are state of the art and brand new! Even the cafeteria was great!
