What are your general comments?

Overall I had a good experience. I got there about an hour early, so I had a lot of time to talk with other interviewees. The other students that were interviewing were very nice and friendly. My interview was in the hospital across the street and the interviewer was great. He asked me a few questions about my academic record, but for the most part we just talked about my past experiences in health care and my current research. The tour was a little rushed but there were 5 current students with us, so I was able to ask all of the questions that I had.
