What are your general comments?
Split into two groups - one interviews first while the other gets the campus tour, then vice-versa. There is some down time between the tour and the interview, so be friendly and chat with those around you.
Lunch is provided (1 hour), followed by a presentation about the school from the Dean which gives information about the education, rotations, and information about the DO program in general. That's it!
It pays to be honest and friendly with those who are interviewing you, and making friends with the other invitees will help the time pass. Good luck!
