What are your general comments?

Definitely a positive interview experience. I was really impressed with the student body and my fellow interviewees were really nice people that would be great to have as classmates. The interview was more conversational, "tell us about yourself", "your interests", etc. Low stress. The interviewers were really nice. The tour was good and we had a cool tour guide that gave us a lot of inside info about UIC. She seemed very genuine and eased a lot of my fears about UIC med.
