What are your general comments?

"The day went very well. The morning starts off with a welcome/ Q&A session with 2 second year students and the Assoc. Dean of Admissions. We then had some time to wander before our 2 faculty interviews. We checked out the amazing Embryo collection and if you're interested in surgery check out the "laproscopic lab" on the 8th floor! Then we had lunch with a student (which counts as equal weight for the interview) for an hour. The day ended with a tour of the facility. All of the students were "laid-back", but they seemed to be learning as well. It doesn't seem competitive either, more of a family atmosphere." Report Response
