What are your general comments?
2 on 1 panel. The Ph.C was really nice and directed all of his questions towards me. The DO just sat at the edge of the desk and joted his notes, he never really smiled. They also gave us 10 minutes to read an article before our interview and asked us to summarize it during the interview. It's a really easy read with a few numbers to remember. I want to point out that I don't think that I did poorly of my interview, but the questions seemed awkward and didn't let me give a spectacular answer.
