What are your general comments?

Interview had 4 interviewers (1 PhD, 2 DO's, 1 student). It's a group interview so be prepared to answer every question like you're interview depends on it because in essence it does. You only get 3-4 questions throughout the entire interview so it makes every question crucial. Dr. Haight was funny and he made the entire day less stressful. The tour guide was a student, although she didn't seem to know too much about the school or the program.
