Reviewed my AMCAS and secondary app. Talked to current UAB med students about their interview experience.

Extremely well organized. Student tour guides seemed to genuinely love their medical school experience. The newly renovated Volker Hall (where most 1st & 2nd year classes are held) is beautiful. Laid-back, conversational interviews.

The tour seemed slightly disorganized, but this was not the fault of the guides.
