What are your general comments?

I know I'm biased having attended Jesuit educational institutions all my life, but the place has it all. If you are interested in clinical medicine and treating people and not a disease, this is the place for you. And Rosemary is one of the most helpful and enjoyable people around. The interviews both went well; I felt they were trying to sell me on the school. They were both very conversational and I found the interviewers engaging. Surprisingly, I did not get an ethical question that so many others on this website have talked about. Perhaps it was because I have a history of Jesuit education or maybe not everyone gets the question, who knows. All in all though, Loyola was my top choice before and became even more so after the interview day.
