What are your general comments?

We were a group of about 75-100 people, all seated in a big lecture hall. The Dean came to speak with us about the history of Midwestern, and what would happen to our application. Following that, we did a 30-minute writing exercise. (There is only one question, but I believe the questions asked are fairly simple...) They give you one sheet of paper to write it on, so if you need to write a draft of the essay before writing it on that sheet, I'd suggest bringing a few sheets of looseleaf paper. Afterward, we were split into 3 groups of 'breakout sessions', where we were lead by a faculty member in something like a Q&A session. We all introduced ourselves and described why we chose pharmacy. When that was over, a few speakers from Student Services and Financial Services gave talks on residential life, financial aid, and things like that. Finally, we wrapped up the session with an optional campus tour led by a P1.
