What are your general comments?

"The day was great! I really enjoyed UTH. I only had one interviewer that day. Around lunchtime I was told that my second interviewer had an emergency and that they did not have any back-up interviewers. She proceeded to tell me that the first one was on the admissions committee and that I was free to go for the day or go on additional tours. It was a relief, but at the same time I wanted another chance to say all the things I forgot to mention in the first interview. Also, I would highly recommend staying with a med student host and going to the night before social. Both were fun and very insightful. No chicken-fried steak this time. We had some kind of baked lemon chicken and some yummy cookies." Report Response
