Friday: Information session and talks by program faculty followed by interviews with PSTP program faculty (2) and for the medical (seperate interview that doesn't matter for the PSTP) followed by dinner and a trip to a bar with current students. Saturday: Brunch with current students then interview with current students (2 at once) then a catered dinner with current students and faculty at a faculty member's house.
