What are your general comments?

I stayed with a host student, which was an amazing experience - she showed me around the night before, and I went to one of her classes the morning before the interview. The day started at 11, and there was a short session with somebody from admissions, then lunch and a tour with 4th yr Med students, then two interviews. The interview were approx 30 min, with 30 min in between. I happened to have both faculty members, but most people interviewed with one faculty, one med student. The great thing is, they said they'll let us know within two weeks!!!
