What are your general comments?

"There's a dinner with current students at a cool sushi restaurant the night before. There are four interviews during the interview day -- one med school and three md/phd -- which are all about 45 minutes long. All the interviews are really relaxed, especially the med school one. The students take you out for lunch at a nice restaurant as a break from the interviews. Then, at the end of the day, there is a graduate school happy hour where you can hang out and chat some more with the students." Report Response
