What are your general comments?

the day started at 11:45. there was nine of us today. first thing we did was meet with several D1s and D2s, who answered all our questions while we ate our lunch, which was pretty delicious. we then went on a tour of the school. facilities were clean and top-notch. i liked how the dental, medical, nursing, optometry, and pharmacy schools are all under one roof (there's several classes that everyone takes together, but you get tested and graded separately). at about 1:30pm, each person was taken in one-by-one into the interview, which was totally chill and conversational. at one point, my interviewers somehow came to a friendly disagreement and started making fun of each other. it was pretty hilarious. but yeah, no need to worry. there was one dude who kept on sweating profusely...didn't know if it was the heat or the nerves getting to him. the worst part was the waiting, since i was the very last person. they accept about 100, but if you interview here early, you're pretty much in. overall, awesome school.
