What are your general comments?

The day began with an introduction video, tour of the school and hospital 6th floor, finaid presentation, then lunch with some medical students. Then I had a 30 minute student interview, followed by a 30 minute faculty interview, both closed file. This was one of the most laid back experiences ever; great chance to sell yourself.
