What are your general comments?
2 interviews: 1 student, 1 faculty. Both were very conversational and laidback. It was a little odd, because my student interviewer asked me the standard questions you would expect to get from a faculty interviewer (e.g., why medicine, why GW, which specialty, tell me about US healthcare issues...) while my faculty interviewer just chatted with me about my experiences/ECs.

Tell me something about yourself (a fact, a story, an experience) that I wouldn't be able to see on paper if I were able to open your file and read it right now.
