What are your general comments?

The interview day started off with a presentation first by a member of one of the admissions staff and then a presentation by a dean. Right after the presentation, I left to the university hospital and had my first interview with a cardiologist. He was super super cool and our converstation was laid back. After the faculty interview, your next interview is with a student over lunch. It is extremely informal. I think they just want to get a feel for who you are. I didn't have any "stress" questions at all. After the conclusion of the interviews, there was an optional presentation on the PBL curriculum which was really informative.
