What are your general comments?

"Interviewing in the afternoon meant waiting outside the building to be let in for awhile (but at least it allowed me to see one student). After being let in we had a presentation on the status of the school, its curriculum, what to expect (definitely looks intense), how many they were interviewing etc. Everyone seems happy and confident that the school is and will be great. Integration (~40%) with the medical school means that classes will probably be tougher but I think it makes for a great background. Then we were given the interview times and essay topic (Who do you want to see put on Mt. Rushmore?) I lucked out and was one of the first to interview so that it didnt interupt my essay writing time. Both interviewers were very friendly and although we covered a lot of topics, I never felt attacked. I had plenty of chances to ask ?'s about the school, etc. After the interview I wrote my essay and you have an opportunity to go on a tour if you desire/have time. " Report Response
