Where official sources disagree

  • classSize: The FAQ says 'There are 175 spots in the new first year class'; another FAQ answer gives a class size of 165.
  • selection.interview.delivery: The FAQ and the Interview Day section say interviews are virtual; the Rolling Admissions section of the admissions page still says 'All interviews are conducted at the School of Medicine' (apparently outdated).
