What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

i underestimated the time to drive on the 80 -- AM traffic. also, once on mare island there was this crazy detour through the warehouses/shipping yard, crazy in the sense that i felt like i was in a movie junkyard car chase, which it may have looked like because i was speeding like mad crazy to make it on time.

What are your general comments?

don's a really sweet guy. the group interview that touro-ca does is actually really relaxed. or maybe we just got dynamite interviewers. there were three interviewers and six interviewees. you may get shafted in terms of speaking time b/c they just go down the line and ask questions specific to each individual. interviewers have really read your application, so be prepared. all in all, it was fine. and yes, the turkey wrap was delicious.
