What are your general comments?

"Interview day started at 10:30am with about 1.5 hrs of presentations on school's admissions/interview process, programs (global opportunities, service/research/teaching distinction tracks, etc.), financial aid, etc. You get hand-outs of info covered so you don't have to take extensive notes. There's also coffee, water, and candy available if you get thirsty/hungry. After the presentations, you get split into groups of about 5 applicants per medical student tourguide, eat lunch, then go on on a tour of MERF. After lunch, half of the interviewees for the day (about 10) get their 2-on-1 interviews while the other half go thru a sample PBL session. The 2 groups then switch. After your interview, you go thru a 5-minute exit interview. Day ends at around 3-4pm." Report Response
