What are your general comments?

"Orientation at 7:30am, 1st faculty interview at 8am, another one right after at 8:30am. Essay at 9, off to the clinics to watch the 4th years work on patients, lunch at 12pm with the 4th year students, tour, financial aid talk (the woman that gives the talk wasn't there, so we got the Cliff"s Notes version of it), and out by 2:15pm. I thought VCU was a great school. The building itself is pretty old, but they have brand spankin' new clinics that look awesome! The faculty were amazing, and all of the students we talked to were very friendly. This was the first school I interviewed at, so I don't have much of a comparison. VCU has always been my #1 choice. This was a VERY low stress interview." Report Response
