What are your general comments?

It wa very laid back it seemed as though one of my interviewers was trying to convince ME to become a doctor! Also, the medical student that interviewwed me put me at ease more than the faculty members (who were really nice themselves). Every one was very helpful and kind. Seriously, just relax and be yourself. Know why you want to become a doctor, and what you plan to do with your M.D.
