What are your general comments?

Amazing school. I went here for undergrad, and the undergrad administration left a very bad taste in my mouth. Before the interview day, I hadn't really considered their medical school seriously. The interview day provided a total 180. The Medical School administration is kind, responsive, and very friendly. The students were interesting, smart, and very sociable. The school itself is beautiful, and the rotation sites are miles beyond any other school I've interviewed at. I am absolutely awe-struck by how good the school is, and will certainly be attending if accepted.
