What are your general comments?

"CCOM was my first choice DO school before I came and the visit definitely lived up to my expectations. I really liked the school, the campus, the students, and the Chicago area. Also, I liked the fact that the interviewers didn't have access to your grades/MCAT; instead they just had your essay and resume and asked me very specific questions about things I've done, much more so than at any other interview I've been to.
