What are your general comments?

The interviews at KU are a little strange, so I'll try to clarify here. There are 2 thirty minute interviews. The first is open file and conducted by a MD or PhD who teaches at the school. The second is closed file and conducted by an MD or PhD and a medical student. Both interviews were very relaxed in informal. More like a conversation than an traditional interview.
