What are your general comments?
It was a hard interview; the interviewer probed a lot into my choice of medicine and my definition of maturity, and even asked a very bizarre question (See "interesting question"). I didn't know how I did. Later on, my interviewer volunteered to give me a ride to my friend's place, where I stayed, and he told me all about Chicago. I really have no clue if th interview went well or not
