What are your general comments?
Well, I had a unique experience in that I am going to be out of the country for a year and was going to have to fly back from Asia for interviews. So, I met with Mr. Strother and he arranged within a few hours time for me to come early and have my interviews before I left. Overall, the experience was great. The questions I was asked were genuine get to know you and find out your heart questions. There were some difficult ones, but they just wanted to see if you could think. Also, there are so many hospitals around the school that the students get to do and see so much!
