Positively 🙂

Everything goes as planned. The "mingle" period at the end is only fifteen minutes, so try to talk to everyone and make a good impression. Overall it seemed like a place I'd love to be.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Why do you want to be a doctor? (I gave an answer relating to service.) Why is service a good thing / why do you want to do it?
What was the most interesting question?
What do you think about the situation in the middle-east? The new Newsweek's cover features an article on sex selection--how do you feel about this practice?

Reviewed my application and transcript, studied the school's website, and made sure I was up on current events.

What is your greatest weakness? (And a question about explaining a period of poor performance).
What impressed you positively?
The students seem very happy and not stressed; they all love the school.
What impressed you negatively?
Some of the facilities (like the fitness center) are really quite small. However, they are well maintained.

Nothing...the letter was accurate, there were no surprises.
