What are your general comments?
I stayed with an M1 the night before, met 20 or so of his M1 friends and partied with all of them the night before. I was pleasantly surprised they were all drinking and having fun even on a Tuesday night. The weather for my interview was beautiful, and the med. student interviewer and faculty interviewer spent more time selling the school and sharing their experiences than asking me questions. I left in the afternoon wihtout a shadow of doubt that Keck is a fantastic school. On a side note, I thought Chicago traffic was bad, but L.A. traffic brings things to a new level.
