We toured the building (which they are expanding) with two MS-IIs and they were helpful answering our questions. Then we had lunch and they came in to get us to interview (2 interviewers to one of us) one at a time. The sim area was nice and definitely looked helpful. It was small (the school itself), but I liked that...it seemed very close-knit. There is a gym, a small library, classrooms, and study areas. They have a lot of clubs for different interest groups (i.e. surgery, EM, FM, etc) which seemed helpful/fun. There is currently no cafeteria service, but they have fast food/food carts that come by. The cirriculum seemed solid and the clinical rotation sites offered a lot of choice. Overall, I loved the city and the school....definitely my number one choice. My fingers (and toes!) are crossed hard.

They didn't say when the next admissions committee meeting was, but I'm going to call tomorrow to find out. Dr. Mitchell did say that I should have a decision within 3 weeks. However long it takes, I'm going to be nervous. The interview seemed to go well, but I was nervous (so talked a million miles an hour). And while they both smiled a lot, interviewers are always a little stoic, so you never know. Anyway, good luck to everyone interviewing soon!
Congrats on the great interview.
