What are your general comments?
Compared to the other three interviews I have been to, I felt the most comfortable interviewing with the two faculty members and student, mostly because they were genuinely interested in getting to know me and my aspirations and personality. One interview ended up running overtime because we were so engaged in our conversation. It was definitely a good sign! I believe the clinical training is second to none. They start you early and provide you with a lot of exposure in the specialities (all are represented at the school!), which is one of the main reasons I chose UNC.
