What are your general comments?

pretty long day - started at 8:30am with some intro, then a few tours, lunch with med students which was informative and a great way to get some perspective on the school. student interview at 1pm (this was closed-file), very relaxed and got a very good impression of the school. another interview with faculty, then a short ''how did everything go'' interview with assistant dean. everyone seemed really enthusiastic about the schools, students all seemed really happy and eager to share good comments
