5 out of 10

What are your general comments?

The admissions staff was very nice and helpful. They spoke to us for about an hour before the interviews began. My first interview was with a volunteer interviewer who was a doctor from the community. He was very welcoming, and I had a nice conversation with him. My second interview was with an anesthesiologist who was on the faculty. He wasn't particularily reponsive to my answers either way. He also seemed to think that he should try to antagonize me when asking me hypothetical questions (euthenasia and health care reform). The tour after lunch was educational.
