"considering i've been a student (undergrad/grad) at the school for some time and live in dc, i just hopped on the metro for two stops. the day started at around 9:45/10 am so it was nice to have the time to relax a bit in the morning and eat a good breakfast. sat through short presentation by admissions coordinator, dean scott, and then took a toor of the facilities and hospital. returned to the library meeting room and ate lunch with some current 1st & 2nd years. then had two ~30 minute interviews (1 student, 1 faculty), followed by a presentation by the financial aid office and student opportunities office. it was a very straight-forward and laid back day. we were out of there by 2pm."
