This website and looking up stuff about the school on the internet. Be ready to talk about yourself. The interview is close-filed so they know nothing about you. You have opportunity to say WHATEVER you want.

The ambience...it was stress-free everywhere we went. The interviewers were relaxed, the students were relaxed. The view is incredible from anywhere on campus...the anatomy lab, the library, the gym!
