Info session, followed by a short exam, which consisted of ten math questions, mainly simple conversions, ten multiple-choice biology ?'s(super-easy ones), and a short one-page written essay on a newspaper article. There was than an interview with one faculty member and one student. Each applicant was asked the same ?'s, but not by the same people.
