What are your general comments?
My faculty interview at Penn was the most relaxed interview I've had all season. We just chatted about medicine, surgery, research at Penn, life in Philly, etc. My student interview was more structured but still very relaxed and friendly. Both had obviously read my AMCAS application and asked pertinent questions.
