What are your general comments?

The tour was long but informative, and ladies - you walk a lot so break in those heels or wear comfy shoes. The interviews were in the afternoon, students first, then admissions and faculty. My student was really laid back, as well as my clinician. Long day but not highly stressful or intimidating.
