Nothing really, all the students seemed really happy to be there. It would've been great to have the opportunity to speak with M3 and M4.

Nothing

What are your general comments?

It was really laid back; so laid back that I resisted the notion to put my feet up in the table and untie my tie. But seriously it was so laid back the first interview we just had an hour long conversation about healthcare (not cause he asked me but I wanted to talk about it) and at the end he just asked me about my volunteer experience. The second interviewer tried to do everything possible to be accomodating. Really nice person who was curious about my volunteer and teaching experience.
