What are your general comments?

"I interviewed with two physicians at University Hospital in their offices which was not hard to find. My first interview was more conversational but the second one was more Q&A. There is some down time between interviews and tours so they encourage you to sit in on a class and explore the campus. Lunch was decent (sandwiches or salads with choice of cookies and other snacks). 3 students led tour and you can tell this school is not cut-throat but rather cooperative and everybody wants to help each other out. The Anatomy lab is new and very nice.Upstate called me only a week and a half later to congratulate me on my acceptance--they are pretty fast about getting back to students." Report Response
