What are your general comments?
The presentation by the admissions person in the morning was really positive, and really sold the school. We spent about an hour in the anatomy lab talking with 1st years. The tour was great, taking us through the hospitals. Then we had a faculty and student interview. My faculty interview was great and really intelligent. My student interview had taken the time to study my file and ask me pointed questions about my application. Everyone was nice and loved the school. Great experience overall.
