What are your general comments?

I didn't really have high expectations of RWJMS going into the interview.However after speaking with the students and taking the tour I really got a positive feeling. The interview itself was kinda long and the questions were tough (lots of ethical situations). The interviewer definitely asked questions that were specific to my educational background. I only wish I had read the NY times Health section that morning. But other then that it went well!
