Lovely interviewers. One 4th year med student who really impressed me with his maturity and ability to conduct a pleasant interview (student interviewers are sometimes so akward). My faculty interviewer could not have been cooler. She was funny, didn't have a set list of questions. She just sort of let the conversation flow.
