What are your general comments?
Overall, the day went very quickly. They give you a bunch of paperwork to fill out throughout the day, and your first interview starts shortly after you arrive. Depending on when you're scheduled, you may have both interviews before lunch, or one before and one after. Both of my interviews were very conversational and low key. The tour is led by a med student (that you also have lunch with), and they really do have a very nice building. After everything's done, you talk to the asst. dean of admissions to check over your paperwork, and then she explains how the committee makes their decision and gives you an approximate date of when you'll find out.
