What are your general comments?

"Arriving early, I got to talk to the director of admissions for awhile before any other interviewees arrived. The day was very organized and the presentations on the campuses of UM were very informative. Lunch with the students was also beneficial: I live in the area and I wanted to know how many students that live in Miami live with their families or sought other places to reside. Walking around the hospital really made obvious how highly trafficked the facilities are and how many opportunities are really available to the medical students because of this. Dr. Hinkley is a real nice guy and really tried to create a relaxed atmosphere so we wouldn't be too nervous for our interviews." Report Response
