What are your general comments?

One of the interviewers wasn't able to be there, so it was just two people instead of the usual three. They really didn't ask many questions; it was more of a conversation. There's a big emphasis on clinical practice at Wake, so it's a good place if that's what you want to do. There's a good vibe of camaraderie between the students. One of the tour guides was a little strange (he was quizzing us on anatomy and stuff), but most of the people are fairly laid back.
