What are your general comments?

"Schools felt the best among the 4 that i interviewed at (RVU, ATSU-SOMA, and lecome-bradenton), but purely personal opinion. The result comes pretty fast, mail arrive within 2 weeks after interview. If you have acceptance elsewhere, can fax over acceptance letter and request result within 1 week. Actual notification of interview post-2nd took a month though. Time line: 2nd submit by mid Feb, interview notice receive by mid March, April 9th interview, April 14th acquired accepted result, April 22 received mail.
