What are your general comments?

I arrived at the Admissions office at around 8:45 am. We were taken on a tour of the med school, which lasted about an hour. After the tour, we were given an in-depth view of the curriculum. Lunch was hosted by 1st + 3rd year students at 12 noon. My first interview was with a 2nd year student at 1:20. My second interview was with a faculty member. Linda, the director of admissions, spoke to me briefly at around 3 pm and the day was over!!!
