The staff was great, they were really nice. Contrary to the way that they did it before, they have bagged lunches with a couple options for everyone. You eat lunch with Dr. Perry, the assistant director of admissions, and you can ask here any questions you want. The writing portion was a relatively easy question to write something about. They said that it wasn't that big of a deal, and then they said that perhaps the whole admissions committee will read it, so I don't know about its importance. But don't worry about the difficulty of the question, I'm sure that you will be able to write at least something. I was applying for the DDS program. And yes whoever was wondering about the 50% stat. I believe that that is correct. I think that they interview about 240 people and by the end of the cylce they send out 120 acceptances. In regards to where I stayed, I actually stayed with some graduates from my undergraduate college, so I can't really give you much advice on that, except to say that the interview begins at 8 in the morning, so you'll want to be close to the school. The overall day was really not very stressful. Its funny because I seem to always get nervous, and then everything is much easier than you think. They kept saying that because we were there, they wanted us, but that they wanted to make sure that it was the right fit for us. My advice is to relax and not freak out about the interviews. Get to know Dr. Perry because she seems to have a big say in the admission decision. Everyone keep your heads up because they interview into I believe march. Good luck and let me know if you have more questions.
