What are your general comments?

"My interview was in the morning, and it was a little awkward because my interviewer asked me very specific questions about the other schools I had applied to. The tour was given by 3 students, 1st and 2nd years, and they seemed very down to earth and relaxed. I felt like I could feel at home at this school-there was a large sense of community here. The students live off campus, because the area where the school is is a little scary/ghetto, but that makes for great clinical experiences early on. Overall, I thought I did poorly on my interview, but I guess I was wrong because I got accepted! " Report Response
