What are your general comments?

was really awesome, I was nervous walking into the interview, but the moment I got in I relaxed and acted like myself. At the end of it we were all laughing and just talking like peers. They asked me how I plan on staying sane in medical school and how id cope with the stressors etc.. etc.. the questions werent too taxing and so was really low key.
