Housing trouble for families. Stiff competition.

What are your general comments?

The interview was laid back. I was fortunate enough to interview with an ER Doc that knew a mentor of mine (just by chance). The tour and presentations where at the School Campus. The interview for most of the 40 people there was at the medical center about 20 minutes away. We all went by shuttle. You are also interviewed by a second year student.
