The amount of downtime between interviews.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
They have a problem-based learning curriculum, but both my interviewers called in ''small-group'' learning and corrected me when I said PBL.
What are your general comments?
It starts at a reasonable time (8 AM) and there is a lot of downtime. If you're lucky, you can go see classes in the morning, but expect to be there for awhile. The student interviewers are pretty laid back, but don't direct the conversation so come prepared to talk about yourself without prompting.
