The campus has a lot of stairs and they give you a full campus tour where you have to walk up and down many flights of stairs. Not enjoyable. As of November 2024, they have four main interviews. (These are not in order) 1. Group interview with a current medical student 2. Group project supervised by a faculty member 3. Individual traditional interview 4. Individual MMI interview" Report Response
