What are your general comments?

"I was very pleased with the whole day. The day starts with a tour which is kind of long and a little boring, although this may be because it is so early. You then meet with a couple of students for lunch where you can ask them anything. If you are nervous this is a great way to get rid of some anxiety. Next you have your student interviewer. This is super relaxed...at least it was for me. They have to ask you certain things, just the stock questions like why medicine, but it was a very very conversational interview. Next you have your faculty interview. For me this was also very informal, and again nothing hard. Just the stock questions that everyone prepares a head of time." Report Response
