What are your general comments?
I arrived early and so had breakfast with other interviewees. Then we watched a brief video about the school, and then I had an interview with a 3rd year student then the director of admissions. After that, I toured the on-site foot clinic, and was then showed around the campus by two students. We had lunch, and then I had another brief interview with another admissions counselor.
