What are your general comments?
It was a nice interview experience. I had 2 interviews - one with a faculty and the other with a student. The on e with the faculty was open file and the one with the student was rather layed back and closed file. I unfortunately had to interview at the hospital downtown. That was'nt too bad after all as I got to see the downtown area. ( I wish the school itself was downtown like Upenn & Jefferson). Overall it was a pleasant day.
