What are your general comments?

There are 3 interviews: 1 Faculty(1 hr., closed file), 1 student(1 hr., closed file), Admissions staff(15 min., open file) All the interviewers are just trying to get to know you. The faculty and student interview carry the same weight and summarize the interview they had with you as well as rate you on a 10 point scale. The day lasts from 8:45am until about 3pm. The day also includes breakfast and lunch, a "Welcome" talk, a tour (with time spent in "anatomy museum"), and a bit long-winded discussion on the curriculum. You receive a stack of papers and a book upon arriving. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere seems congenial. Curriculum is constantly changing which shows a commitment to the students and their input and ideas. Strong research facilities and partnerships in the region make UPMC an attractive residency choice as well.
