Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

What was the most interesting question?

Not many questions at all. I asked most of the questions. Other than that it was more like a conversation. I guess the most interesting question was "Where do you see yourself 10 years from now?"

What was the most difficult question?

"Where do you see yourself 10 years from now?" I was asked this by each interviewer. I think they just want to ask a question from their sheet to help start our conversation.

I stay the night at a fraternity house. The fraternity guys weren't very hospitable. My interviews went fantastic. I was able to get a lot out and learn a lot about the curriculum and the programs of interest. The interview was more like a conversation. The tour was good. We got a demonstration of their artificial intellegence maniquins. Their gross anatomy laboratory was impressive.
