research not really a selling point; students don't care about board scores - while their pass rate is high, they didn't impress me w/ their overall performance; LACK OF RACIAL/ETHNIC DIVERSIT; Vermont law precludes having a student-run clinic

What are your general comments?

it was very low-key, and it went by quickly. my interviewer was seasoned, and he managed our time very well. he didn't ask me the typical questions, b/c i'm a very atypical applicant. but as it was my 6th interview, i was well-prepared for anything.
