you spend ur first 2 years with med school students learning a whole lot of things u probably won't need later on.

What are your general comments?

it was pretty laid back...the amount of stress u put on urself is how stressful the process will be. the students were very helpful and encouraging. the interview itself was not hard. yes its CDA style ethical/hypothetical questions...but it wasn't bad. i mean it's all common sense anyway. the key is to not stress and just be urself!
