What are your general comments?

The MD portion of my interview was more a conversation with an older physician, so I felt a little more awkward discussing my interests. But the MDPhD portion was basically me discussing my research experiences, so the stress level declined throughout the day....plus I did the interview first and the tour, which I liked so I didnt have to worry too much all day!
