What are your general comments?
It was good. My first interviewer was crazy. She was obsessed with women becoming more prevalent in specialized medical care. Second interviewer was a little stone-faced, but I just pretended like he was reacting to everything that I said exactly like I thought he would and eventually he was smiling and laughing....woo hoo! San Antonio seems like it would be a great school to go to!
