What are your general comments?
Review of basic science and clinical science years; group of 8 applicants divided with 3 going on tour of school facilities with 2 students while other 5 awaited interviews and then vice-versa; interviews with 2 faculty members-expecting it to be more stressful than it was (no good cop/bad cop routine); lunch with 4 students; bus tour of university campus with admissions personnel; meeting with Dean of NSU-COM. Very informative and much more laid back than I had expected from reading other reviews here.

What impressed you positively?
Everything but especially Dean Silvagni who reinforced what a privilege it is to be a physician.

Nothing.
