What are your general comments?

The interviewers were very relaxed and friendly.One was a psychiatrist, the other a 3rd year med student. They were really interested in my life/family background, because I have an unusual history and they were very supportive. I realize now that I should have explained my answers to their ethical questions more thoroughly. Overall, I left feeling good about the interview process.
