What are your general comments?

"I arrived before the admissions office was open and one med student happened to pass me by and she very sweetly talked to me about the school until the office opened - I thought that was really nice of her. The tour was first and the hill is no big deal, though it was freezing the day I went so that wasn't so fun. I also didn't like the fact that the tour is not given by a med student since the tour for me is not about seeing facilities but getting a med student's perspective of the school. After lunch is the med student interview - mine was really chill and funny. The faculty interview was next and I had to walk there...up major hills...in the freezing cold...in a skirt - yah, not so fun. My ears were about to fall off by the time I got to the interview, but I guess if I go to Pittsburgh, I'll have to get used to it. The third interview with the dean is short and really laid-back.
