What are your general comments?

My interview was very laid back. I was first suposed to have someone else interview me, but he never showed. He first asked me where I am from and then he told me where he was from and it turns out it was only a few blocks from my house. So we spent some time going down memory lane. He then just took a quick glance at my AMCAS but he wanted to keep it conversational. After that, he asked me to put on a white coat and he showed me around the hospital and introduced to some of his friends. We then went to the cafe.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
