What are your general comments?

The interviewers were really nice. I'm not sure I made it clear above--they interviewed me 2-on-1 (one was an M3, the other a professor), such that I was interviewed by a group (not that I was in a group of interviewees). The interview was focused on my reasons for pursuing medicine, which was fine, except that this lasted for 65 minutes and I did the majority of the talking. It was an adventure and a positive experience nonetheless.
