What are your general comments?

"The whole experience was great. First point of advice: Stay with a student host if you can, this really helped me get a feel for the school. Otherwise, the whole day will be very laid-back, you'll start out with individual and group photos, then there will be presentations on everything. You'll have an ice-breaker with Dr. Mueller (he's a character, you will know him when you see him). Afterwards, you'll get a financial aid presentattion, you'll go down and have more info sessions on the school, you'll get the surgery lab (new and amazing!), the dean will make a presentation, you'll get to see Harvey (a cardiac simulator), and you'll have an OMM demo. There will be lunch with the studnets and you'll get to ask all the questions you could possibly have. Finally, you'll have your interview. The interview is usually a faculty member, a clinician and a student. This is very, very low stress. No politics, no ethics, they just want to get a feel for you as a person. Depending on your interview time, you'll get a tour before or after the interview. The facilities are new and very nice." Report Response
