What are your general comments?

"I absolutely love Davis, and I would love to be there. The school feels really warm and pleasant. The staff makes you feel comfortable, and I was never intimidated to talk to people. I was unable to get the student interview since they had finals, but i didnt mind. We still had a chance to meet with a couple med students and ask them questions. My interviewer had to be the coolest guy in the world, and all the others seemed to be nice as well. Be careful with the traffic in Sacramento, I was actually late, which totally bites, but what can you do except plan better next time. Basically, its a small and cozy school, totally my thing. City is close by and lots of fun. If you get a chance, go to Mikuni's sushi restaurant. ITS AMAZING!!!" Report Response
