What are your general comments?

Overall it was a positive experience. I arrived when the other students were eating lunch. We were presented a powerpoint on the school and then financial aid. Then we got a tour by 2nd year medical students. Finally I had my interview with a professor in his office. My interview time was changed, and I didnt find out until 1:25pm. My interview was actually interrupted several times by phone calls which my interviewer had to answer, but it was because of personal issues that needed to be addressed immediately. I was not bothered by the interuptions once he explained why he was allowing them to occur.
