What are your general comments?

"Overall, it was a very low-key day and relaxing. My interviewer was very conversational and didn't ask any of the classic difficult questions. It was mostly just explaing my activities on my AMCAS. Surprisingly, I didn't even get why medicine? or why SLU? The campus was nice, although fairly small. The students all seemed very happy and not overly stressed. Also, many people stopped along the tour to talk to us and answer questions, which was a great sign. Overall, a low-stress and informative day." Report Response
