What are your general comments?

The day begin with a student in conference room answering the interviewees questions. It was all very relaxed, a little too much so. I would have appreciated a slightly more formal presentation. Interviews were brief. My first interview, with the chaplain, was rather perfunctory. He asked me my MCAT score, GPA and what I did to volunteer and that was it. 5 minutes. My other faculty interview and student interview was better. The old facilities are kind of blah but the new building is nice. In the end, Tulane is Tulane. Its a little rough around the edges, some times dysfunctional, but very chill- just like its city. Katrina did not and will not change that.
