What are your general comments?

as the other interview feedback comments have suggested, the vanderbilt interview process is extremely friendly and low stress. everyone is very nice. my interviewer spent 30 minutes selling the school and nashville. it would actually have been better if he'd asked some more questions (he didn't really have any prepared). additionally, they set up a separate meeting with a doctor in my field of interest, which was great.
