What are your general comments?
much calmer than i was expecting. i didn't know much about SB before the interview, but i have many positive things to say about it now, including the investment that both faculty and students make to deliver/obtain the best possible education. lunch with students and student tour-guides were very useful in learning details about SBMed. overall very positive experience.
