What are your general comments?

"First- write an essay Second- admissions and finaid presentations Third- faculty interview Fourth- student interviews w/lunch Fifth- review file Sixth- tour Last- lab coat measurements The day went from 10am to 2pm. It was not stressful-- but it was very businesslike. I wish I had been mailed more extensive information about the school before the interview. Unlike others, I did eat lunch during my student interview (he took me downstairs and we ate as we talked). The actual interview was more conversation rather than questions. There were nine of us there that day, and all the other interviewees were great. The school doesn't tell you stats about how full the class is, what percentage of interviewees they accept, or when you should expect to hear back. But, they admissions staff is very nice."
