What are your general comments?
Started the morning lost, looking for the conference room but luckily a 1st year med student helped me find my way. Breakfast was good...be sure to eat, because lunch is not for a few hours. Then had some speakers before we took a tour of Shriners, which was amazing! The doctors working there seemed so passionate and the facilites are top notch. Then we had our interviews. Mine was with a PhD and a fourth year med student. The interviews were very relaxed and conversational. The med student was very eager to answer my questions and she seemed very honest in her responses. Then we had lunch and had a tour of the school led by med students. Lastly there was a presentation about financial aid.
