The thin walls at the international house. The guy next door got a phone call at 6 or something and I heard the whole thing.

Nothing really.
What are your general comments?
It was low stress. It was more of an attempt for them to get to know who you are. They provide a nice lunch and they give you a tour of the school. Everyone I met asked me if I was interviewing and wished me good luck and told me how much they loved the school.
And they have a very honest administration that tells you thing other medical schools won't.
