What are your general comments?
It was great! It was a big group-40 people! The tour in the morning was very helpful and it was nice to be able to ask questions. Then you had talks about housing, financial aid, etc. Then you had a chance to eat lunch briefly and then your interview with the med student was at noon for everybody. He was very nice and asked me about various aspects of my application (tell me about experience X). Then I had a faculty interviewer and he was very nice too. He asked a lot of questions about my future (what I wanted to specialize in, what my life would be like, etc.)
