What are your general comments?
Altogether a great day. Mr. Strother and Mrs. Harris are the two nicest people I've met in my interviews thus far. Med students seemed really happy there. My first interviewer seemed to be a bit hard on me (you don't know what GFR is??? its the glomerular filtration rate! --oh yeah, I knew that), but still nice to talk to. Second interviewer was really nice and laid back.
