What are your general comments?

"Wish they had more 3rd and 4th year students for the brunch/tour. Makes me wonder about the happiness of the 3rd and 4th years. Wish they had organized things a little better. Was late to my interview because they were disorganized. My interviewer was not in his office and was busy -- made me feel like they didn't even care about me and wondered why they even bothered to invite me to interview.

Wasn't able to see clinic either except through a window -- what's with that?" Report Response
