What are your general comments?

"I came into this interview not expecting very much. It is still not my top choice, but I am slightly more comfortable with the school overall. Overall, the day was pretty disorganized, with people coming in occasionally to talk to you. Having to arrive at 8 and not interviewing to 11:30 also increases the stress level dramatically. Also, I would have liked to have spoken to some 3rd or 4th year medical students in order to get a better idea of the school and to see more of the hospital, which the first year students could not do."
