What are your general comments?
I stayed with a second year the night before my interview who was really nice and helpful. There were a lot of boring speeches we had to sit through. One speaker, Dr. Akerman, participated in the first heart transplant surgery (that was exciting!!).After hearing from the speakers we headed to TGH for our two interviews. My interviewers were surprisingly laid back and easy to talk to. After the interview we ate lunch and toured the campus.
