What are your general comments?
Three interviews - all separate 20 minute blocks. The first one was with an immunology professor, who played soothing (but good) music in the background. The second was a foreign trained MD, who just seemed to want to know who I was. The third was an OMM professor and DO, who seems to try to intimidate at first, but really has a heart and just wants to make sure you will be happy there. It was laid back, and I left feeling happy and confident. A tour was given by admissions and included the local town and VTech campus. Also, someone gave us a tour inside the school
