What are your general comments?
Dr. Wise gave the presentations and was a very welcoming, up beat, humorous guy which helped calm nerves pre-interview. The applicants talked to get to know each other more and the presentation started as we, one by one, were called back from the interview. The interview took place on another floor and was for the most part laid back. I was interviewed by 3 people, a D.O., M.D, and a PhD. The Phd seemed neutral but welcoming, I felt like I clicked with the M.D. (as much as one can in such a short amount of time). The D.O. was nice but had a hard time reading his non-verbal cues as far as how I thought I was doing at the interview. I was asked almost every question posted on this site except for the "Dinner" question and "What do you see yourself doing in 10 years."
