What are your general comments?
The day began with lunch with the medical students. Then we had a short orientation. Then We were escorted to two interviews. After the interviews we had ''cookie time'' where you chat with all of the members of the admissions commitee. We had a short presention about financial aid followed by a tour with a medical student. It was a nice interview experience. Both of my interviewers were engaging and polite.
