What are your general comments?

I had an afternoon interview with a neurologist. He was really nice and we had a good conversation, but very laid back. I should have gone in with a few more questions prepared because we ended up talking about Vandy for quite a while. He even walked me back to the admissions office and gave me a tour of the parts of the campus that the other tour had left out.

My interview was almost a little too laid back. It was very unstructured and my interviewer hadn't even looked at my application when I walked in so we went over it together.
