What are your general comments?

"The day was really long. They have everyone in a small room for about 3 hours, where they present different topics, eg. fin. aid etc. They did two rounds of "get to know you" conversation. After that, current students gave tours of the campus. I would recommend to try to go with a second year student, they know more about the school. After the tour we had lunch with current students. Lunch was over at one and then you basically just waited till it was time for you to interview. By the time I was interviewed I was already tired and overwhelmed with all of the information they threw at us. This made me much more relaxed. The interview was with a D.O. a fourth year, and a phd. Overall, the campus is O.K. but the teachers and classes seemed to be high quality." Report Response
