What are your general comments?
overall, the day was very well organized. the first interviewer asked me the standard questions. my second interviewer seemed more interested in having a conversation and did not ask me any specific questions about my activities. we talked about my college experiences, hobbies, and his medical practice. both were very interested in understanding why i wanted to go to penn state and not some other schools. both repeatedly asked me why i wanted to go there..
