What are your general comments?

"I arrived at the school about a half hour early. I signed in at the front desk, and I talked with some of the other applicants. We were greeted by two professors. They took us in to a classroom and showed us a powerpoint presentation about the school, the program, rotations, residencies, and the city of boston. The presentation was very organized. Next, we were asked to do a short writing sample about an article that was provided. After this we split up into individual interviews with a faculty member. The interview itself was stress free. The faculty memeber that I interviewed with was down to earth. She reviewed my application ahead of time and had several questions ready for me. If you had something interesting written in your personal statement, be prepared to answer questions about that. This is also to your advantage because it gives you a lot to talk about. After the interview, there was a tour of the school. As you will see, everything is brand new. Computers and classoroom technology is state-of-the art. Finally, the day ended with questions. Overall, my experience at the school was wonderful. The faculty members were friendly, the school is impressive, and the location is ideal. The school is located near several hospitals which is great for clinical experience. The city of Boston has so much to offer. " Report Response
