What are your general comments?

"Interviewees meet with Dean of Admissions in conference room and share basic information about ourselves with the group. Be prepared to talk about clinical interests, personal interests, and a short story describing who you are. Then we have a faculty interview followed by a student interview. They say both are weighed equally - very unique. These followed by lunch and tour of school. Then problem-based learning session (not evaluated, just for fun)." Report Response
