What are your general comments?
Starts early, and the group is big- 40 or so students. Breakfast and lunch are served, and students go in shifts- one group does their three interviews, boom boom boom, and the other group tours the computer labs and gets a financial aid seminar. After everyone finishes their interviews, the admissions committee leaves, and med students come and chill with applicants, answer questions, and take you on a tour. The day ends early, and is full but energizing, and people seem really happy and down to earth. They all say they're fed well by the school.
