What are your general comments?

overall with the school itself i was pleased. seemed to have good facilities, staff and surrounding area. My interview itself was by two doctors that were very professional and personable. I felt the way they asked questions were very well done. They did ask me tough questions like explaining a grade and probing into any answer I had. Though, they werent doing it to be intimidating, they were doing it to just know more and they clearer would tell me that before they would ask anything. That helped me to be less apprehensive and give a more comprehensive answer, but also them asking their question.They were very organized and definitely knew all about me when i came in. I appreciate their demeanor and their treatment of me.
