What are your general comments?

It seems like everyone who goes here really likes it and all the people I met were incredibly helpful. My interviews were with a med student and a doctor, and both just sat down and had a relaxed conversation with me, without trying to intimidate me or trip me up. I really enjoyed it and was really impressed with the school.
