to not stress. i could have slept easier that night if i had known how fun it was going to be.

I got the general impression that none of my interviews were trying to set me up for failure. They just want to get to know you, make sure you're normal, and that you have an interesting perspective on medicine.

No complaints. AMAZING lady in the admissions office. Seriously, if you don't know where the interview room is, just ask and she'll take you there
