What are your general comments?

Both my interviewers were extremely nice and casual, even though there were unusual questions both seemed eager to answer any questions I had. I would definitely recommend attending clinical rounds to get a better idea of what sort of training 3rd and 4th years get. Also going to the lunch with the med students was very helpful because they gave honest opinions about their school.
