We started with an essay. Don't fret, the essay is simple and doesnt require and preperations. the interview was a good amount of time, enough to get a good feel of who i was and nothing to stressful. i had a nice lunch with the student interviewer who was very nice and gave me her honest opinion of the school. at the end we took measurements for white coats...very exciting.
