What are your general comments?

I think the interview went very well. The doctor I was with was VERY friendly and really wanted to get to know me (that's why my interview lasted for over an hour). I was really impressed with how well organized the school was from Admissions to being a medical student there. It really felt like a place I would want to go, even though I am from Colorado.
