What are your general comments?
The morning was filled with various briefings. We then went on a tour of the facilities with our student guides, followed by lunch in the cafeteria ($6 provided by the school via a meal ticket). Interviews were scheduled for the afternoon. Allow for the possibility of having a 3:45 pm interview. A lot of the faculty had open door policies during the afternoon, which provided applicants with the opportunity to ask questions about life at the school or military medicine, etc.
