What are your general comments?

Incredible. One of my interviewers gave me less of an interview and more of a brainstorming session on how to get me in. I didn't have a single ethical question or patient scenario. It was surreal. I came away feeling very much like they want me there, even if I don't make it in. Fantastic school.
