What are your general comments?

"The began with an overview of the day and information about the school. The group of applicants were split in half. One half of the group had a group interview first, while the others had a one on one interview. The group interview involved allowing applicants to work together to develop a plan for a specific task. The were not concerned with the quantity but rather the quality of your contribution. Honestly, it was a little intimidating trying to share your ideas amongst other brilliant students while the med students judged your performance. The one on one interview was pretty standard with no unexpected questions. They just want to get to know u better. After the interviews, a student panel discussed the school and allowed for questions. The day ended with lunch." Report Response
