What are your general comments?

"We had a great breakfast. All the interviewees started to introduce themselvs and we got along really well. Then, we talked to the Dean and the Assistant Dean, who were both highly intelligent and welcoming. Most of us did not have morning interviews, so we sat in on first and second year classes. Then we had the financial aide session, followed by a catered lunch, during which we were introduced to the brand new curriculum. The whole experience was just so smooth. After lunch, we went on a tour. The hospitals were just amazingly beautiful. They have top notch peds and cardio depts, not to mention cleveland clinic being one of the best hospitals in america. As soon as we came back, I went on my faculty interview. This was the most relaxing interview ever! we just chatted about the school and about how I will fit into the school. Afterwards, I had a student interview, which was in a similar style--very conversational (about 45 min). And that was that. The day was over before I knew it." Report Response
