What are your general comments?

I attended the informal gathering on Thursday night, which wasn't that helpful except that I then knew where to go the next morning. Day started at 8 with intro to school, financial aid meeting. Half the group had their first interview while the other half toured the school. After that, had lunch, followed by your second interview. An optional tour of the hospital followed, which I would recommend doing! The interviews were open file, but they do not have your secondary app or letters of rec. Both interviews were very relaxed and were just a converstaion. It was very easy to lead the discussion to talk about things that you want to.
