What are your general comments?
The interview itself was completely no stress, he basically told me i had gotten in and tried to sell teh school to me...with that said he wasn't disingenuous at all and highlighted some of the new research facilities that were being built (Neurology and ID are the top departments at NJ Med), he also illuminated the amount of community interaction that students can get involved in and how this really does enhance one's medical education.
