What are your general comments?
i really liked this school, the students are enthusiastic about helping each other and don't seem bogged down by all the work. the interviews are pretty laid back, you get one with a faculty member and one with either another faculty or a 4th year med student. overall, they do a good job of making you feel welcome and introducing you to their school.
