What are your general comments?

While we were waiting, we had hostesses who kept us company and kept the conversation rolling. Then, we had lunch and a tour with a few med students. I had read off this site that the interviews themselves were like "speed-dating", and they were! After 15 min. with an interviewer, someone knocks on the door to tell you time is up and then you move onto the next interviewer. If it's going well, it's a little frustrating, but if the interview is stressful, it's relieving to hear that knock!
