What are your general comments?

I interviewed with a rather elderly female on the science faculty. Basically the first thing she said was that she didn't even need to ask me why I wanted to be a doctor because she felt that my essays had done a wonderful job of explaining my journey to this point (I'm a non-trad) and she knew exactly where I was at. Things just went up from there. She really didn't ask any questions, we just had a very free-flowing conversation about health care policy and financing (from an ultra-liberal perspective). She repeatedly stated that she thought I was a great candidate and that she would definitely recommend that I be admitted and that she hoped I would choose this school because she thought I would be a great fit. It was basically a dream interview, except that in my wildest dreams I never imagined that it could possibly go this well! I will be stunned if I don't get an acceptance after this experience.
