What are your general comments?

Day was low stress but exhausting Interview day started early (8:00) with a talk by some guy (I forget who) who answered questions, there were interviews from 9-11 (I had two 30 min interviews with physicians), students came to the room to chat in between interviews, financial aide presentation by Dale and then tour+lunch after until about 2:30 or so I was really impressed by the school, but it was a long day. Was tiring to hear students go on and on about how great the school was after 6 hours of hearing it already! Staying with student host was very convenient
