What are your general comments?

"Morning orientation, interview, lunch, tour, interview. Pretty standard, but too much time between interviews. There's not much to do in the meantime. On the bus back to the airport, I met an M1 and talked a lot about the school. He was really enthusiastic, more so than my tourguide or students at lunch. He admitted that OHSU has a really lackluster inteview day. Despite this, it's a great school. The most impressive part was my 2nd interview. My interviewer really challenged me and really kept me on my toes. I never actually got to talk about literature in any other interview. It was quite refreshing. Note: It's really hard to get in right off the bat. Only 120 acceptances are given out. Everyone else is put on hold until people withdraw. Overall, great school. I hope I get in to expand my options. " Report Response
