Galveston and the fact that my second interviewer did not show up.(They found a replacement, but I had to miss most of lunch)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Their board scores are better than most Texas schools.

What are your general comments?

My first interviewer asked many difficult theoretical ethics questions. I was prepared to anwser such questions, just not for 45 minutes in depth. It didn't help that he didn't make eye contact and mumbled as he spoke(MD interviewer). My second interview, while very late and not with the person it was orginally scheduled for couldn't have gone better.
